Show abstract
The yeast Lachancea thermotolerans converts consumed sugar partly to lactic acid instead of ethanol and is therefore used together with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce wines with a lower alcohol content. Being able to distinguish these yeasts is important for quality control and quantitative assessment of the contributions of both yeasts to wine fermentations. Commonly used methods to routinely distinguish these organisms are indirect or rely on commercial products of undisclosed composition. Here we describe that adding bromocresol purple to agar media induces Lachancea colonies to develop a brown color, whereas Saccharomyces colonies remain white.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
