PCR-RFLP ITS-based analysis of wine yeast autochthonous strains isolated from different grape cultivars in Taman subregion

Abstract

The studies present the results of morphological, cultural and genetic analysis of the ITS1-ITS4 region of the autochthonous yeast strains genome by using the HaeIII restriction enzyme. On the red and white grapes varieties, based on the morphology of the cells, autochthonous strains belonging to the genus Saccharomyces prevail – 83.3%, what is confirmed by genetic analysis of rDNA ITS region. Restriction analysis showed that all strains of the genus Saccharomyces belong to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae / S. paradoxus. The percentage of Saccharomyces isolated on the Pervenets Magaracha variety is 86.7%, Krasnostop Anapsky - 80%. The non-Saccharomyces yeast had a product size of 750 bp, presumably of the species Hanseniaspora uvarum.
