Examination of novel Aureobasidium pullulans isolates dominating apple microflora and assessing their potential for apple juice spoilage.

There is very little up to date information regarding apple microflora so in the current study we decided to address that issue and assess whether dominant fungi which reside in fruit might spoil apple juice. Microorganisms were isolated from apples of Koksa Górska harvested in the middle of October in 2016 and 2017. Identification of isolates was based on the sequencing of ribosomal DNA.
