Isolation of yeast from soil and different food samples and its characterization based on fermentation

Abstract: Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms which can also be used for bioethanol production. In this modern era of increasing demand for energy and fuel, the microbial biosynthesis of ethanol has gained importance. In this study, the potential yeasts for ethanol production from pentose and hexose sugars were identified. Yeasts were isolated from soil and different food samples. They were identified and characterized based on cell morphology (e.g., mode of cell division and spore shape) and physiology (e.g., sugar fe… Show more

“…On EMB agar E.coli showed dark greenish metallic sheen colonies, on MSA Staphylococcus aureus showed golden yellow colonies and Staphylococcus epidermidis showed pink colonies, on MacConkey agar Klebsiella produced pink lactose fermented colonies, Salmonella sp produced black colonies on salmonellashigella gar, on Bile Aesculin agar Listeria sp produced black colonies, on Nutrient agar Bacillus showed white colonies, Candida sp showed white colonies on yeast extract peptone dextrose agar, Trichoderma sp produced light green conidia cover the entire media and the initial growth of Aspergillus sp shown as white in color. It was also observed by (Faryal et al, 2006;Ohgiwari et al, 1992;Prakasam et al, 2017;Thapa et al, 2015).…”

“…Yeasts are found to colonize in diverse habitats, some are beneficial and some are infectious. Some of the yeasts are widely exploited for commercial purposes as they can be easily manipulated genetically [2,3]. Yeasts have wider applications in fields such as food, medicine and biotechnology research but their potential has been exploited lesser in crop improvement practices [4].…”

“…Yeast is widely distributed in nature with a variety of habitats and is commonly found onplant leaves, flowers and fruits, as well as in soil 19 . However, there is few strains which have better fermentative characteristic, therefore there is always a need with better features in bioethanol fermentation especially high ethanol tolerance and production on commercial scale.…”
