Science on Tap: "The Lethal Arsenal of Killer Yeasts"
When: Thu., Sept. 5, 6-7 p.m. 2024
Join us for a talk by Dr. Paul Rowley, a University of Idaho scientist known for his work on “killer yeast.” Killer yeast produce toxins that can inhibit or kill other yeast strains, making them a potential tool for use in the brewing industry to protect against spoilage.
Rowley’s research explores how these unique yeast strains can improve the fermentation process, leading to more consistent and flavorful beer.
Whether you’re a brewing enthusiast or just curious about microbiology, this talk will offer fascinating insights into how killer yeast could protect the brewing process.
