Molecular Identification of Yeast Strains with High Fermentation Capacity Isolated from Kırkağaç Melon Varieties

The yield of fermentation process, bioethanol, is one the important product obtained from renewable energy sources. Yeasts are commonly used in ethanol production due to their high tolerance, productivity, and ability ferment different kinds simple sugars. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast species most industrial production. Therefore, isolation identification new strains with capacity very for bioethanol industry. aim this study was novel industrially applicable that can be Yeast were isolated Dalaman, Altınbaş Kıvırcık sarı dilim melon varieties unique Kırkağaç district Manisa province. evaluated selected identified by PCR-RFLP analysis 26S ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA gene regions. Sequence rDNA-D1/D2 region molecular strains. phylogenetic carried out using MEGA XI tool. It determined 14 53 able glucose sucrose, four them lactose. having as Pichia kluyverii, Lachancea thermotolerans, kudriavzevii, cf. cerevisiae/paradoxus cerevisiae. These have potential industry after other physiological biochemical tests complete
