It combines manuscripts prepared for the Symposium as well as selected regular manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Food Microbiology. The symposium, ISSY-23, is devoted to the main topic "Interaction between yeasts and other organisms". The program is organized in sessions such as biodiversity, taxonomy, phylogeny and identification, ecology, food, wine and dairy yeasts, clinical yeasts, as well as methods. Each session is opened by a keynote lecture, followed with some 50 oral presentations and about 130 posters in the various sessions. Yeasts in foods have received strong emphasis. A special session is being held on dairy yeasts and a round-table session on wine flavor and yeasts. This Special Issue in particular deals with the advantageous use of yeasts in the production of wines and dairy products and the role of yeast in various other fermentations and in microbial associations as well as their potential a spoilage organisms. Yeast taxonomy is also addressed. It is envisaged that further papers, especially those falling beyond the scope of the International Journal of Food Microbiology, will be collected into a thematic issue of the FEMS Yeast Research. Special thanks are offered to the editorial and publishing staff of Elsevier for providing the possibility to make available this Special issue to the participants prior to the ISSY-23.
