It's always possible, but experiments in this thread suggest that WB-06 or something like it is important to the taste. It's worth noting that although people treat diastaticus as a separate species, it's more just a marker for one (very obvious) gene. In human terms diastaticus is more like "redhead" or "blue-eyed" rather than "gorilla" or "chimp".
As an aside, going back to
the original PCRs, I'm not sure that TH are using WB-06. It's not a great picture, but although the gold star yeast is very similar to WB-06, there looks like a 230bp band has moved to 180bp. So maybe it's one of the other Fermentis yeasts, maybe Be-256? That MTF email omits Be-256 from the list of POF+ yeasts, which would help control the clove.
