Abstract:
Based on the conventional morphological and 26 S rRNA gene sequencing analysis, the 6 stains of Pichia fermentans were isolated and identified from the 10 samples from traditional fermented yak yogurt in the northwest of Sichuan province. The 6 isolates had 99.7%
100% nucleotide sequence homology with Pichia fermentans which were available from GenBank. Therefore, the results of this study provided information for research of the diversity of microbial compositions of traditional fermented yak yogurt and genetic diversity of Pichia fermentans.
