Use of Fragments from D1/D2 Domain of 26S rRNA Gene to Select Saccharomyces cerevisiae from Palm Wine
نویسنده
چکیده
Aims: To determine if the 600 bp PCR amplicon of D1/D2 domain region of 26S rRNA genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be used for pre-selection and identification of S. cerevisiae. Study Design: In vitro analytical study. Place and Duration of Study: University of Nottingham, United Kingdom; Study was carried out between March and September 2013. Methodology: Polymerase chain reaction amplification and restriction digestion using HaeIII restriction endonuclease. Results: The restriction profile of S. cerevisiae was different from that of Pichia kudriavzevii, Candida ethanolica and C. tropicalis. The profile was the same with known S. cerevisiae strains NCYC 1406 and S288c and yielded three fragments of approximately 306,156 and123 bp. Conclusion: HaeIII digestion of D1/D2 domain of 26S rRNA gene of S. cerevisiae confirms that Short Communication Nwaiwu; JALSI, 5(4): 1-5, 2016; Article no.JALSI.26373 2 pre-selection and sequencing can be performed with one PCR reaction instead of two in palm wine yeast identification studies.

Intraspecies diversity of the industrial yeast strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus based on analysis of the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA.
We divided industrial yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae into three groups based on the sequences of their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. One group contained sake yeasts, shochu yeasts, and one bakery yeast, another group contained wine yeasts, and the third group contained beer and whisky yeasts, including seven bakery yeasts. The three groups were distinguished by polymorph...
متن کاملEvaluation of yeast diversity during wine fermentations with direct inoculation and pied de cuve method at an industrial scale.
The diversity and composition of yeast populations may greatly impact wine quality. This study investigated the yeast microbiota in two different types of wine fermentations: direct inoculation of a commercial starter versus pied de cuve method at an industrial scale. The pied de cuve fermentation entailed growth of the commercial inoculum used in the direct inoculation fermentation for further...
متن کاملMolecular identification of basidiomycetous yeasts from soils in Iran
In the present study basidiomycetous yeast species were characterised from soil samples in different regions of Iran. Soil samples were collected from 5–15 cm depth, subsequently yeasts were isolated and purified. Yeast isolates were identified using D1/D2 domains of 26S rRNA and physiologic tests. The results of this study revealed a rich diversity amongst basidiomycetous yeast species in the ...
متن کاملReal-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) and reverse transcription-QPCR for detection and enumeration of total yeasts in wine.
Real-time PCR, or quantitative PCR (QPCR), has been developed to rapidly detect and quantify the total number of yeasts in wine without culturing. Universal yeast primers were designed from the variable D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene. These primers showed good specificity with all the wine yeasts tested, and they did not amplify the most representative wine species of acetic acid bacteria a...

Background: Psoriasis is an immune mediated skin disorderwhich is mainly characterized by abnormal proliferation anddifferentiation of keratinocytes. It is believed that Debaryomyceshansenii (Candida famata) can colonize skin and mucous membranesof psoriatic patients and exacerbate psoriatic lesions via toxins,antigens, and proteins. The aims of this study were to evaluateDebaryomyces hansenii ...
