The present invention relates to a method for selecting a strain of an organism capable of improved consumption of a mixed substrate comprising two or more carbon sources as compared to a reference strain of the organism, which method com-prises: growing a population of the reference strain of the organism in the presence of the two or more carbon sources, wherein the number of generations of growth of the said population on each of the said carbon sources is at least about 50% of the number of generations of growth on the carbon source most preferred by the organism; and selecting the resulting strain of the organism, thereby to select a strain of the organism capable of improved consumption of a mixed substrate comprising the two or more car-bon sources as compared to the reference strain of the organism. The invention also relates to strains of organisms selected using such a method. Strains of organisms identified using the selection method may be used in fermentation processes in which a mixed substrate is used.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de sélection dune souche dun organisme capable de consommer de manière améliorée un substrat mélangé, comprenant deux sources de carbone ou plus par rapport à une souche de référence de lorganisme, ledit procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes : la croissance dune population de la souche de référence de lorganisme en présence des deux sources de carbone ou plus, le nombre de générations de croissance de ladite population sur chacune desdites sources de carbone étant dau moins environ 50 % du nombre de générations de croissance sur la source de carbone préférée par lorganisme ; et la sélection de la souche obtenue de lorganisme, ce qui permet de sélectionner une souche de lorganisme capable de consommer de manière améliorée un substrat mélangé comprenant les deux sources de carbone ou plus, par rapport à la souche de référence de lorganisme. Linvention concerne également des souches dorganismes choisies en utilisant un tel procédé. Des souches dorganismes identifiées en employant le procédé de sélection peuvent être utilisées dans des procédés de fermentation utilisant un substrat mélangé.
