A growing body of research suggests that the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is important for temperature adaptation. In the yeast genus <i>Saccharomyces</i>, species have diverged in temperature tolerance, driving their use in high- or low-temperature fermentations. Here, we experimentally test the role of mtDNA in temperature tolerance in synthetic and industrial hybrids (<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> × <i>Saccharomyces eubayanus</i> or <i>Saccharomyces pastorianus</i>), which cold-brew lager b ...[more]
