''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' is the type species of the genus ''Saccharomyces'', although ''Saccharomyces paradoxus'', ''Sand is well-known and highly studied. cerevisiae's'' closest relative, it is likely older used in industrial production of baking and fermentation as well as bioenergy and more globally ubiquitous than ''Sbiomedical fields. cerevisiae''. <ref>ref needed</ref> Many previously recognized species of Saccharomyces have been consolidated or reassigned to another genusWholke-genome sequencing was completed in 1996, commonly ''Zygosaccharomyces''. Species and since then the body of ''Saccharomyces'' other than ''S. cerevisiae'' (and only certain strains scientific knowledge on the species of ''S. cerevisiae'') are generally unable to efficiently ferment maltotriose, although some can ferment maltose (such as ''S. eubayanus'') <ref name="Cubillos_2019">[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/yea.3380 Bioprospecting for brewers: Exploiting natural diversity for naturally diverse beers.

The presence of ancestral polymorphism (variations on the same genetic sequence between populations) suggests that these species arose during a short period of time during which a lot evolution of genetic inheritance was shared before the speciation events occurred.

For example, ''S. uvarumSaccharomyces'' and other than ''S. eubayanus'' in South America, ''S. jureicerevisiae'' (and only certain strains of ''S. paradoxuscerevisiae'' in Europe) are generally unable to efficiently ferment maltotriose, and although some can ferment maltose (such as ''S. arboricolaeubayanus'' in Oceana ) <ref name=Peris_2023" /Cubillos_2019">.
