PHYLOGENETIC BIODIVERSITY OF YEASTSAlan Makarovich Hoziev, Boris Georgievich Tsugkiev, Valentina Batyrbekovna Tsugkieva, Andrey Georgievich Petrukovich, Zalina Alimbekovna Kubatieva, Susanna Konstantinovna Cherchesova and Soslan Anatolievich SiukaevAbstract The authors identified yeast strains from the following grape cultivars: Rhein Riesling -DEN1- (7-2018); Cabernet -ZH-3 (9-2018) and L-3 (6-2018); Flora -DEN-5 (10-2018). According to the analysis results of nucleotide sequence that codes part of rRNA genes, performed in BRC VKPM NRC âKurchatov Instituteâ â State Research Institute of Genetics, it was found that DEN-1 (7-2018) strain belongs to the species Metschnikowia pulcherrima; ZH-1 (9-2018) strain is closest to the species Pichia kluyveri; L-3 (6-2018) strain is the representative of the species Metschnikowia pulcherrima and DEN-5 (10-2018) belongs to thespecies Pichia kudriavzevii. The studies confirm that the grape cultivars â Rhein Riesling, Cabernet, Flora, introduced in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, are promising natural resource of systematic yeast diversity. |
