''S. cerevisiae'' var ''diastaticus'' can grow at 37°C and can also remain viable at refrigeration temperatures <ref>[http://www.ebc2017.com/inhalt/uploads/P095_Begrow.pdf Wade Begrow. "Recent notable microbiological contaminations of craft beer in the United States". Presentation poster at EBC 2017. Retrieved 11/19/2017.]</ref>. WY3711 saison yeast, which originated from Basserie Thiriez, has been determined to be this subspecies <ref name="preiss_diastaticus" />. In the [[Saccharomyces#Commercial_Farmhouse.2FBelgian_Strains_of_Saccharomyces|commercial culture]] lists below where we believe a lab is selling this strain of yeast or might be selling this strain of yeast, we note that it is determined/suspected to be ''diastaticus''. The Belle Saison strain from Lallemand is killer neutral, which means that killer wine strains will not kill it (it is not verified if Belle Saison is the same as WY3711/Thiriez, although it is suspected to be).
Some hints as to which White Labs products might be ''diastaticus'' have been deduced from the Gallone et al. study that published DNA sequencing on most of the yeast strains in the White Labs bank. However, the codes used in the Gallone paper for each strain of yeast were not defined as far as which White Labs products correspond to which code used in the study. Some of the codes have been speculated on which White Labs strains they might refer to (see [[Saccharomyces#History_of_Domestication|History of Domestication]] above). The strains from the Gallone paper that appear to contain STA1 are Beer002, Wine019, Beer092 and Beer059. The Beer059 code might correspond to WLP026 according to this speculative [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1400297539998456/?comment_id=1908170505877821&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D table], which has had reports of high attenuation. It is not clear at this time whether this strain is ''diastaticus'' or not <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1400297539998456/?comment_id=1909596632401875&reply_comment_id=1910328215662050&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D MTF thread on STA1 gene and White Labs strains that might have it or not.
