Assays were conducted at 28°C for 7 days of incubation at 28 °C and 180 rpm. The letters on the columns represent the degree of similarity between yeasts strains for the parameters analyzed. Averages followed by same letters do not differ by Tuckey test at 5% probability. Standard deviations were lower than 6 % of media value.
