Results of molecular identification of autochthonous yeasts

The molecular identification of autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts, isolated for the first time from the Maraština variety, has been completed. Identification was performed by sequencing PCR products and BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) analysis of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. The photos in the gallery show the growth of representatives of all 27 different types of non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from grapes of the Maraština variety on differential nutrient medium WL (Wallerstein Laboratory). The isolated yeasts will be multiplate at the Universita Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy and store in the first established collection of indigenous yeast at the Institute of Adriatic Crops.
