Objective:
To identify the yeast strains isolated from Massa Medicata Fermentata samples that sold in markets.
Method:
The strains were identified through conventional classification methods including colony characteristics, cell morphology, physiological and biochemical properties, as well as 26S rDNA sequence analysis.
Result:
The isolated strains Y1, Y3, Y4, Y5 were Cryptococcus albidus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, Endomyces fibuliger, respectively.
Conclusion:
After fermentation the Massa Medicata Fermentata samples contained a variety of yeast species. Yeasts were the main contribution microorganism of the fermentation process.
