description

Several wild and collection strains of the genus Zygosaccharomyces were characterized using a rapid and simple method of restriction analysis of mitochondrial DNA. Patterns obtained with three endonucleases (HaeIII, HinfI and RsaI) made it possible to differentiate each species and to identify the wild strains, isolated from the same spoiled concentrated must, as belonging to the species Z. rouxii. The HinfI restriction enzyme produced a strain-specific pattern which allowed us to recognize that the seven wild isolates belonged to only three strains.
