A method of inhibiting or delaying growth of Saccharomyces spp. in a beverage with alcohol content of less than 4.2 vol.-%, comprising the step of adding an effective amount of one or more Pichia kluyveri strains, wherein the Pichia kluyveri strain inhibits the growth of S. cerevisiae or S. pastorianus by at least 40% when inoculated simultaneously with the Pichia kluyveri strain, compared to an otherwise identical sample which does not comprise the Pichia kluyveri strain, wherein the Pichia kluyveri strain is not PK-KR1.
(canceled)
Yeast of the species Pichia kluyveri deposited as DSM 34278, DSM 34279, or a functionally equivalent mutant Pichia kluyveri obtainable from the deposited yeast.
