Summary:The invention relates to a method for selecting a yeast strain having improved capability for fermenting a pentose, advantageously xylose, in the presence of organic acid, advantageously acetic acid, in non-dissociated form, in which at least one yeast strain that is capable of fermenting said pentose is consecutively cultured in the following two media: a first growth medium comprising said pentose as the only carbon source and said organic acid in non-dissociated form; a second growth medium comprising another carbon source as the only carbon source, advantageously glucose, free of said organic acid in non-dissociated form, the consecutive culture in at least said two growth media being repeated at least twice, in the presence of rising concentrations of organic acid in non-dissociated form. Procédé de sélection d'une souche de levure présentant une capacité améliorée à fermenter un pentose, avantageusement le xylose, en présence d'acide organique, avantageusement d'acide acétique, sous forme non dissociée, dans lequel au moins une souche de levure présentant une capacité à fermenter ledit pentose est cultivée successivement dans les 2 milieux suivants: -un premier milieu de croissance comprenant comme seule source de carbone ledit pentose et ledit acide organique sous forme non dissociée; -un deuxième milieu de croissance comprenant comme seule source de carbone une autre source de carbone, avantageusement duglucose, et dépourvu dudit acide organique sous forme non dissociée, la culture successive dans au moins ces deux milieux de croissance étant répétée au moins deux fois, en présence de concentrations croissantes en acide organique sous forme non dissociée.
