Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo identify the yeast strains isolated from Massa Medicata Fermentata samples that sold in markets.
METHODThe strains were identified through conventional classification methods including colony characteristics, cell morphology, physiological and biochemical properties, as well as 26S rDNA sequence analysis.
RESULTThe isolated strains Y1, Y3, Y4, Y5 were Cryptococcus albidus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, Endomyces fibuliger, respectively.
CONCLUSIONAfter fermentation the Massa Medicata Fermentata samples contained a variety of yeast species. Yeasts were the main contribution microorganism of the fermentation process.
