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.
This study was conducted at the laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University and the National Commission of Biotechnology in 2012 to investigate he possibility of Production of bioethanol using local isolate of Saccharomyces cer evisiae from raw sugar refining molasses and to determine the effect of different temperatures, pH and concentration of Dry matter (Brix degree) in molasses on the amount of ethanol produced. A local isolate (R1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae selected previously due to its superiority in ethanol production was taken from wine brewing residues and exposed to different temperatures (20, 25, 30 and 35OC), pH (4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5) and the Brix degrees (16, 20, 24 and 28%) during fermentation. Results revealed that the best amount of ethanol was produced at temperature of 30 º C, pH 5, and Brix degree in molasses 16%.
Thirty randomized samples of sugar materials were collected from different places (Tartous, Damascus, Homs) in Syria for isolation and identification of some yeasts. These yeasts were classified physiologically by API technique to identify the spe cies of Yeasts found in these materials. Results showed that the isolated materials contained 17 isolated yeasts distributed in 3 genus and 7 species and named as follows: One isolated yeast from Geotrichum capitatum, Candida krusei,Candida guilliermondi, Candida fumata and Candida zeylanoides and 4 isolated yeasts from Candida lusitaniae and 7 isolated yeasts from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The classified yeasts were screened to investigate the activity of internal and external invertase produced by them using spectrophotometer at 540 nm. The results showed that there were differences in the ability of yeasts to produce invertase enzyme. Candida Lusitaniae-2 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae-4 were found the best yeasts for production of external invertase, whereas Candida Lusitaniae1 was the best for internal invertase.
Sixty yeasts spp. were isolated from samples of whey which collected from different locations in Syria. These yeasts were classified morphologically according to Barnett’s and physiologically by API technique to identify the species of Yeasts, whe re had found 10 classified yeasts as follows: Candida krusei is the most of yeasts which founded in whey with 21.66 %, and in the Second rank is Candida lusitaniae with 16.66 %. the third rank came (Geotrichum capitatum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rhodotorula minuta) with 11.66%, after that the Candida magnolia is ranked in the fourth rank by distributing with 8.33%. as soon as the Candida famata came in the fifth rank with 6.66%, and in the sixth rank we founded Candida lipolytica with 5%, finally the Rhodotorula. mucilaginosa and Candida. kefyr came in the last rank with 3.33%, so we noticed the variety of the yeasts in the studied locations in Syria.
