With the purpose of identifying the yeasts involved in the fermentation of the wort
prepared for distilling the alcoholic beverage commonly known as "mezcal", a
zymological study was conducted of this wort. The yeast isolated and identifíed
corresponded to the species Saccha.mmyces cerevisiae and its morphological and physiological
characteristics are described in this paper. The isolation was carried out on V8 médium
from wort prepared from the mezcal agaves Agave elongata and A. tequilana, at a " mezcalería"
(mezcal factory) in the municipality of San Juan de la Jarcia, Oaxaca, México.
Apparendy, this is the first report of the yeast involved in the fermentation of the
substrate used to prepare mezcal, about which some information is given concerning
its preparation.
