Growth Dynamics and Diversity of Yeasts during Spontaneous Plum Mash Fermentation of Different Varieties.

ABSTRACT: The influence of fruit varieties on yeast ecology during spontaneous plum mash fermentation was investigated. Yeast colonies were isolated from mashes obtained from four plum varieties throughout fermentation in laboratory conditions during two consecutive years. The yeast strains were differentiated by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) and identified by the 26S rDNA D1/D2 sequence analysis. Hanseniaspora uvarum, Metschnikowia spp. and Pichia kudriavzevii were the dominant yeasts during the early stages of plum mash fermentation, while the middle and end phases were dominated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The strains of Candida sake, Nakazawaea ernobii, Pichia kluyveri, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Wickerhamomyces a
