Molecular genetic identification of yeast from the fund of the belarusian collection of non-pathogenic microorganisms

Abstract

Ten cultures of yeast-like fungi were isolated from natural sources and taxonomically significant morphological and physiological characteristics of isolates were analyzed. For precise taxonomic diagnosing molecular-genetic identification of yeast was performed by comparison of nucleotide sequences encoding 18 SrRNA gene. As a result species affiliation was defined for new cultures of yeast-like fungi referred to genera: Rhodosporidiobolus, Rhodotorula, Sporobolomyces, Dothiora, Holtermannia, Cryptococcus, Metschnikowia and Candida
