''P. kudriavzevii'' can mainly metabolize glucose making it a non-viable strain for primary fermentations. During trials it was unable to metabolize galactose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, raffinose, and trehalose. <ref name="pichia k1"></ref> Interestingly, some strains of ''P. kudriavzevii'' can metabolize pentose sugars such as xylose <ref name ="P. kudriavzevii xylose">[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3485917/.
