An Integrative View of the Role of <i>Lachancea thermotolerans</i> in Wine Technology

The interest in <i>Lachancea thermotolerans</i>, a yeast species with unusual characteristics, has notably increased in all ecological, evolutionary, and industrial aspects. One of the key characteristics of <i>L. thermotolerans</i> is the production of high quantities of lac...
