摘要

Yeast populations of dry-cured Iberian ham isolated from seven industries in the province of Badajoz were characterized by ISSR-PCR using the (CAG)4 primer and PCR-RFLP of the ITSI-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 fragment, and identified by DNA sequencing. A total of 242 isolates were analyzed, indicating the primary species present was Debaryomyces hansenii at 80.9% of the isolates followed by Candida zeylanoides at 10.3% of the isolates. The remainders of isolates were identified as Yamadazyma triangularis, Sporobolomyces roseus, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Rhodotorula slooffiae, and Cryptococcus victoriae. The ISSR-PCR method was a fast and reliable method which was able to discriminate species at a level comparable to restriction analyses of the ITSI-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 region. This method allowed for strain typing of D. hansenii, yielding 29 different PCR patterns within 196 isolates. Moreover, ISSR-PCR using the (CAG)4 primer indicated that this technique could be a promising tool for rapid discrimination of yeast starter cultures and spoilage species in dry-cured Iberian ham.
