Abstract
The yeasts and related flora associated
with ripe fruits of the marula tree in
Zimbabwe were isolated and identified
as Aureobasidium pullulans, Geotrichum capitatum,
Trichosporon brassicae, Rhodotorula
mucilaginosa, Hansenula anomala, Hansenula
jadinii and Hansenula species. The physiological
characteristics of the organisms suggest
that, generally, they are not important in traditional
marula wine fermentation. The Hansenula
spp. are fermentative, however, and may
play a role in marula wine-making.
