Abstract:

Totally 37 yeasts were isolated from 11 kimchi samples from Yanbian prefecture, Jilin province, and classified
taxonomically into Eeniella, Nadsonia, Pichia and other 6 genera according to their ascospore, pseudohyphae and cell morphology.
Out of these isolates, six with salt tolerance were selected and identified by 26S rDNA D1/D2 regional sequence and phylogenetic
tree analyses. The results showed that the six strains with salt tolerance were from two yeast species. Among these strains,
LB1-3 and YB1-3 belonged to Kazachstania, LB1-3 was identified as Kazachstania turicensis, YB1-3 was identified as
Kazachstania exigua, and LD1-3, TB1-3, YL1-2 and TL1-2 were identified as Saccharomyces servazzii.

Key words: kimchi, yeast, 26S rDNA, phylogenetic tree, homology analysis
