Abstract
From 182 non-pathogenic wild yeast isolates from flowers, Pichia silvicola UL6-1 and Sporobolomyces carnicolor 402-JB-1 were selected for potent ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid production and microbiological characteristics were investigated. Pichia silvicola UL6-1 formed ascospores and pseudomycelia. The strain was also halotolerant, growing well in 5% NaCl-containing yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium. Sporobolomyces carnicolor 402-JB-1 did not form ascospores or pseudomycelia and grew well on 10% glucose-yeast extract-peptone medium.
