Abstract

Pickled table-olives (Tonda variety) were obtained from Dolianova Cooperative (CA). From 11 samples examined, 110 yeast strains were isolated as follows: 65 of Candida boidinii (90,91 % frequency); 2 of Candida diddensiae (9,10% frequency); 30 of Candida krusei (72,73% frequency); 1 of Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus (9,10% frequency); 1 of Hansenula anomala (9,10% frequency); 6 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. cerevisiae (9,10% frequency); 3 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var oleaceus (18,18% frequency); 2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. uvarum (9,10% frequency). Since all the species found, except Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, are capable of fermenting at least glucose, they are probably involved in the pickle microfloral complex responsible for the table-olive fermentation.
