Abstract Aim In this study, we investigated culturable yeast community, present in grape must sampled from vineyards with apiaries on the borders, and honey bees collected these apiaries. Methods results To aim, yeasts isolated spontaneously fermented grapes randomly two (P1 P2) borders (A1 A2) were compared to those a vineyard without apiary (P4). At same time, community was analyzed each placed vineyards, comparison an (A3) located far vineyards. The analysis performed for consecutive years (2021 2022). identified by restriction of amplified ITS region, followed sequencing fragment. Our research showed that presence seems increase counts must, particular Saccharomyces cerevisiae; furthermore, permanence allowed recovering also bees. Conclusions findings seem corroborate role as vectors reservoirs oenologically relevant yeasts, such source non-conventional potential biotechnological applications.

Mead, an ancient alcoholic beverage, relies on the indigenous microbial community in honey for alcohol fermentation. Nevertheless, data use of bee flora mead production Thailand are scarce. This investigation involved isolation alcohol-producing yeast strains from Thai stingless species Heterotrigona itama. Subsequently, these isolated were employed fermentation with sourced same species. Findings revealed that strain denoted as P03b, which was identified molecularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, exhibited highest 13.53% ± 0.76%. Furthermore, P03b demonstrated notable stress tolerance, including resistance to elevated osmotic pressure (30% w/v glucose), extreme pH conditions (pH 2), and high ethanol content (20% w/v). In fermentation, observed concentration reached 10.20% 0.26%. The resultant had a 3.54% 0.04% total reducing sugar 0.04 0.00 mg/mL. study provides new knowledge using combs beverage production.

The interaction between stingless bees and fungi has garnered recent interest due to potential mutual benefits. In Brazil, Melipona scutellaris stands out ecologically economically. We investigated its microbiota, focusing on yeast species in pot-honey, pot-pollen, nest surfaces. Samples from the Atlantic Forest (Pernambuco state, Brazil) were analyzed through morphological physiological methods D1/D2 LSU rDNA sequence analysis. identified 20 species, comprising 15 ascomycetes five basidiomycetes, representing 11 genera, respectively. All except Blastobotrys meliponae, reported for first time association with M. scutellaris. Honey exhibited highest richness. this study, Meyerozyma caribbica, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Moniliella carnis exclusively isolated honey. understanding of ecological yeasts, as revealed our research, can significantly aid insect conservation programs. present report yeasts associated substrates living Brazilian Forest.
