Here we report on yeasts associated with <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cerana</em> foraging on flowers of <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jatropha integerrima</em> in the campus of the Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia. Yeasts were isolated from guts of 30 individual pollen-collecting bees (PCB) and nectar-collecting bees (NCB), and identified by their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of their rDNA sequences. Based on ITS regions sequence data, 14 representative yeast isolates obtained from <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cerana</em> were found to be closely related to <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Aureobasidium pullulans</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dothioraceae</em> sp., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Candida </em>cf. <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">apicola</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C</em>. cf<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. azyma</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. cellae</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Metschnikowia</em> sp., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kodamaea</em> <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ohmeri</em> and <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yarrowia lipolytica</em>. Undescribed yeast of the genus of Metschnikowia was also discovered in this study. At present, we assume there is association between <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C</em>. cf. <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">apicola </em>and species closely related to <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. cellae</em> with <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cerana</em>. Yeasts species associated with PCB differ from those found in NCB, indicating that PCB and NCB possess different and specific yeasts communities. Some yeasts species isolated from <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cerana</em> show a low degree of similarity to their closest related species. Our study sheds light on the detection of several new taxa of yeasts associated with <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cerana</em>.</span>}, number={1}, journal={Microbiology Indonesia}, author={BASUKRIADI, ADI and SJAMSURIDZAL, WELLYZAR and PUTRA, BANGGA BERISTAMA}, year={2010}, month={May}, pages={9} }
