Note on Newly Isolated Yeasts from Wild Flowers in Daejeon City, Korea

Abstract

We report morphological and physiological characteristics of newly isolated six kinds of yeasts which are new in Korean mycoflora. The yeasts were isolated from wild flowers in Daejeon city, Korea and identified by molecular analysis of the amplified internal transcribed space rDNA sequence or partial 18S rDNA sequence. Species of isolates were identified as Kuraishia capsulate, Lodderomyces elongisporus, Pseudozyma antarctica, Starmerella bombicola.

New Records of Yeasts from Wild Flowers in Coast Near Areas and Inland Areas, Korea

“…최근 환경부 국립 생물자원관과 공동으로 대 전지역 일부 하천 및 야산 등지에 서식하고 있는 야생화들 로부터 효모들을 분리, 동정하여 이들의 다양성 (Min et al, 2012a)과 Kuraishia copsulate를 포함하는 4종의 국내 미기록 효모들을 선발하여 이들의 특성을 보고하였다 (Kang et al, 2012). 또한, 대전의 계족산, 충남 홍성의 오 서산 일대와 전북 정읍 백암산 등의 산악지대에서 식생하 고 있는 진달래 등의 야생화들을 수집하여 이들로부터 효 모를 분리하고 동정하여 도시 근교에서 분리한 효모들과의 Mycoflora를 비교하여 보고하였다 (Min et al, 2013a).…”

Two New Species of Cryptococcus sp. and Candida sp. from Wild Flowers in Korea

“…Among 80 yeasts isolated from wild flowers in Daejeon, Korea, 78 were identified based on ITS gene sequence analysis [14, 15]. However, Candida sp.…”

“…Primers ITS1 and ITS4 were used for amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region [14, 15]. The D1/D2 region of 26S rRNA was amplified by PCR using NL-1 (5'-GCA TAT CAA TAA GCG GAG GAA AAG-3') and NL-4 (5'-GGT CCG TGT TTC AAG ACG G-3') as the forward and reverse primers, respectively.…”

Characteristics of Two Unrecorded Yeasts from Wild Flowers in Ulleungdo, Korea

“…Most of the yeasts that produce these compounds have been isolated from fermented foods or their raw materials [3,4,6]. Recently, we isolated and identified various yeasts, including unrecorded yeasts, from wild flowers growing in cities [7,8], mountains [9], inland and coastal areas [10,11], and, islands, such as Jeju Island, Korea [12,13].…”
