재래식 메주로부터 효모의 분리, 동정 및 배양조건

Forty seven strains of yeast were isolated from traditional Meju and were identified as Saccharomyces spp. (7 strains), Zygosaccharomyces spp. (7 strains), Kluyveromyces spp. and Hansenula spp. (each 5 strains), Rhodotorular spp. (8 strains), Candida spp. (12 strains), Pichia spp. and Debaryomyces spp. from results of their microbiological characteristics. The optimal medium for growth of all the yeasts was YM media and the optimal initial pH of the medium was 6.0. The optimum temperature for growth was 30$circ$ and among them, Sacch. exiguus OE-5, Sacch. cerevisiae OE-16, Sacch. kluyveri C-1 strains were thermotolerant yeasts which could grow at 40$circ$C.
