Ten randomized samples of materials were collected from two
places (Damascus, Homs)in Syria for isolation and identification
yeasts. These yeasts were classified morphologically according to
Barnett's and physiologically by API technique .Results
showed
that 6 isolated yeasts were Saccharomyces cerevisiae . These
isolated yeasts were screened to investigate production of biomass.
The results showed that there were differences in the ability of
isolated yeasts to produce biomass. Saccharomyces cerevisiae
isolated from date fruit was best yeast for biomass production.
