جمعت 50 عزلة خميرة من الجنس Rhodotorula من مصادر محلية متنوعة خلال عامي 2012
و 2013 ،منها 13 عزلة من التربة و 23 من أوراق الأشجار و 14 من مواد غذائية. شخـصت العـزلات
باسـتخدام تقانـة AUX 20c API و تبـين أن العزلات تنتمـي إلــى ثلاثـة أنواع هــي على التـوالي علـى %، 4 و % 20 و % 76 و بنـسب R. minuta و ، R. glutinis و ، R. mucilaginosa
استخدمت ست طرائق مختلفة لتحطيم خلايا الخميرة و استخلاص الصبغة و أظهرت النتائج فيمـا يخـص
كمية استخلاص أشباه الكاروتينات تفوق الطريقة المعدلة باستخدام DMSO و التحضين لمدة 24 سـاعة
مع التحريك عند 4°س على الطرائق الخمس الأخرى المستخدمة كافة. تميزت جميع العزلات بقدرتها على
إنتاج أشباه الكاروتينات بكفاءات مختلفة حيث تفوقت العزلة A24 mucilaginosa. R المعزولة مـن
الغذاء بكمية أشباه الكاروتينات المنتجة إذ بلغت 23.658 ميكروغرام/غ كتلة حيوية جافة للخلايا مقارنـة
ببقية العزلات الأخرى.
Rhodotorula yeast was isolated from various local sources. Fifty isolates
were collected during the years 2012-2013 where 13 were isolated from soil, 23
from tree leaves and 14 from food. The isolates AUX system. Were classified
into three Rhodotorula species: R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta with
76%, 20% and 4% respectively using API 20c. Six methods were applied in
breaking down the yeast cells and extracting the carotenoids. It was shown the
quantity of carotenoides extracted with the modified method by adding DMSO
to the yeast biomass and incubating for 24 hrs at 4˚C yielded in higher
quantities when compared with the other five methods. All isolates were able to
produce carotenoides but they varied in their efficiency where the isolate A24
(R.mucilaginosa) isolated from food was distinguished by its high level of
production which reached 658.23 μg/g dry weight compared with the others.

40 samples were collected from milk from Homs to isolate the
bacteria and study their ability to produce the enzyme β-
galactosidase and diagnose isolates the most efficient in the
production of the enzyme, the results showed the presence of 25
sporeforming isolates producing the enzyme β-galactosidase , the
effectiveness of β-galactosidase was estimated using
spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm.
