“…Rh. mucilaginosa has been associated with the phylloplane (Fonseca and Inácio, 2006) and can be a coloniser of the surface of grapes. Wickerhamomyces anomalus and M. guilliermondi have been isolated from grape must and winemaking equipment (Barrajón et al , 2009; Kurtzman et al , 2011; Settanni et al , 2012).…”

The aims of this work was to characterise indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in the naturally fermented juice of grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo used in the São Francisco River Valley, northeastern Brazil. In this study, 155 S. cerevisiae and 60 non-Saccharomyces yeasts were isolated and identified using physiological tests and sequencing of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene. Among the non-Saccharomyces species, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was the most common species, followed by Pichia kudriavzevii, Candida parapsilosis, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Kloeckera apis, P. manshurica, C. orthopsilosis and C. zemplinina. The population counts of these yeasts ranged among 1.0 to 19 × 105 cfu/mL. A total of 155 isolates of S. cerevisiae were compared by mitochondrial DNA restriction analysis, and five molecular mitochondrial DNA restriction profiles were detected. Indigenous strains of S. cerevisiae isolated from grapes of the São Francisco Valley can be further tested as potential starters for wine production.

“…Our NJ tree showed that the yeast isolates are phylogenetically diverse and distributed in the phylaof Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Fonseca and Inácio (2006) Inácio et al (2005) reported that the yeast isolates from the leaves collected at the Arrabida natural Park (Portugal), were mostly of the phylum Basidiomycota in the class Tremellomycetes. In our study, the phylogenetic tree constructed from rDNA-ITS sequencing showed that the yeasts from classes Saccharomycetes and Tremellomycetes were found from all sampling locations (Figures 2-5).…”

Aims: Broussonetia papyrifera (Saeh plant) has many qualities, the inner bark was the material for 'dluwang' papers on which Indonesian historical manuscripts were written, and the leaves have bioactive constituents of medicinal value, and antifungal activities. We investigated the diversity of yeast species associated with leaves from 6 months and 1.5 yearold plants, which is prerequisite to understand the phylloplane yeasts and plant interaction. Methodology and results:The yeasts were isolated from fresh leaves by washing and membrane filtration methods. A total of 16 leaf samples of 6 months and 1.5 year-old plants were collected from four locations in Java, Indonesia, and 2,543 yeast isolates were obtained. Based on similarity of colony morphology, 82 representative yeast isolates were selected and identified based on the sequence analyses of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA. The identification result showed that they consisted of 17 genera and 32 species. Thirty six of representative yeast isolates belong to 11 genera (18 species) of the phylum Ascomycota and forty six isolates belong to 6 genera (14 species) of the phylum Basidiomycota. Phylogenetic trees showed that the yeast isolates are phylogenetically diverse and distributed in the phyla of Ascomycota (classes Saccharomycetales and Dothideomycetes) and Basidiomycota (classes Microbotryomycetes, Tremellomycetes, and Ustilaginomycetes). Conclusions, significance and impact of study: The phylloplane yeasts of B. papyrifera (Saeh plant) were taxonomically heterogeneous. This is the first report of the isolation and identification of phylloplane yeasts from B. papyrifera. Phylloplane yeasts may possess antagonistic activity to fungal plant pathogens in their natural habitats.

“…Yeasts play roles in many complex processes of various ecosystems such as plant tissues (stems, flowers, and fruits); insects; soils; aquatic environments; and extreme environments (Fonseca and Inácio, 2006;Raspor and Zupan, 2006;Botha, 2011). Industrial attributes of yeasts include the primary roles they play in many food fermentations yielding beers, ciders, wines, sake, distilled spirits, bakery products, industrial enzymes, and agricultural products (Deak, 2009;Tamang and Fleet, 2009).…”

BACKGROUND:Yeasts associated with fleabane flowers were identified using isolation methods previously applied in yeast biotechnology. A culture-based approach was required for isolation of many yeast strains associated with fleabane. METHODS AND RESULTS:We spread homogenized fleabane flowers onto GPY medium containing chloramphenicol, streptomycin, Triton X-100, and Lsorbose. We isolated 79 yeast strains from the flowers of wild fleabane, and identified the yeasts via phylogenetic analysis of isolates from agar plates. The yeast species included 39 isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans, 17 of the genus Candida, 14 of the genus Rhodosporidium, 6 of the genus Cryptococcus, and 3 of the genus Rhodotorula. CONCLUSION: Yeast isolates associated with fleabane flowers included A. pullulans (39 isolates) and other yeast species (40 isolates). Such yeast isolates may have biotechnological potential.
