Morphological characterization and molecular-genetic identification of natural isolates of biotechnologically valuable of yeast-like fungi
Abstract
New strains of yeast-like fungi were isolated from the surface of leaves, berries and flowers of decorative, medicinal and fruit cultivars. Following morphological examination of yeast colonies and cells, physiological-biochemical characterization and molecular-genetical identification the cultures were referred to the folowinggenera: Cystofilobasidium, Rhodotorula, Sporobolomyces, Rhodosporidiobolus — sources of carotenoid pigments, Cryptococcus, Metschnikowia, Bullera — potential producers of extracellular polysaccharides, Dothiora — melanin synthesizers. The isolated strains in short-term perspective may be used in biotechnological industry and manufacturing of bioactive additives.
