Currently, research into how well ''Brettanomyces'' strains ferment the trisaccharide maltotriose has not been explored much by science, however one study found that ''B. custersianus'' can ferment maltotriose. Another study found that all 7 strains of ''B. bruxellensis'' tested could ferment maltotriose, but not the trisaccharide raffinose. More investigation into this possibility is needed <ref>[http://www.asbcnet.org/events/archives/2015Meeting/proceedings/Pages/54.aspx Determination of sugar metabolism profiles of non-traditional yeasts in the Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces families.

The below table is an example of the variety of sugar types that different strains/species of ''Brettanomyces'' banked at the [https://catalogue.ncyc.co.uk National Collection of Yeast Cultures] can ferment under aerobic growth and semi-aerobic fermentation and aerobic growth (the '''semi-aerobic''' fermentation value is probably more useful for brewers since oxygen availability is limited during fermentation in normal brewing practices):
