Yeasts Associated with Fruits and Blossoms Collected from Hanbat Arboretum, Daejeon, Korea

Yeasts are common inhabitants of the phyllosphere, but our knowledge of their diversity in various fruits and blossoms are limited. We collected different kinds of blossoms and unripened fruits from Hanbat arboretum, Daejeon, Korea at the year of 2013. Yeasts were isolated by plating of suspensions prepared for collected samples onto YPD medium containing antibiotics. BLAST searches were subsequently performed for the comparison of the partially determined sequences of D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA. As a result, we isolated 57 yeast strains of 31 species from 29 different kinds of blossoms and 6 kinds of fruits samples. We found huge differences in yeast flora depending on the sample collection season.

Among the 60 strains, Bullera coprosmaensis JS00600 represented a newly recorded yeast strain in Korea, and its microbiological characteristics were investigated. The yeast cell has an oval-shaped morphology measuring 1.4 × 1.7 μm in size. Bullera coprosmaensis JS00600 is an asporous yeast that exhibits no pseudomycelium formation. It grew well in vitamin-free medium as well as in yeast extract-malt extract broth and yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) broth, and it is halotolerant growing in 10% NaCl-containing YPD broth.
