INTRODUCTION The composition and the quality of wines are closely related to the yeast used for fermentation. In recent years, there has been growing the interest in using new autochthonous or local selected yeasts strains that are potentially better adapted to their local environments and can enhance the typical sensory properties of the wines produced in a given region. These yeasts would allow the production of wines with regional specificity, conferring traits that would distinguish these wines from the wines of other regions. In order to keep its place on the wine international market Romania should produce typical wines from local grape varieties by using like starter cultures autochtonous wine yeasts.
OBJECTIVES The isolation and purification of the yeast strains from Dealu Mare vineyard, Valea Calugareasca viticultural center; The characterization from cytogenetics and morpho-physiolocical point of view of the isolated autochtonous yeast strains; The taxonomic identification of the yeast strains; The built a collection of microorganisms proving high enological potential formed by the Saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces strains.
MATERIAL AND METHODS The origin of the yeasts has been Dealu Mare (Grand Hill in Romanian language) vineyard, Valea Calugareasca viticultural center. As biologic material have been used grape varieties for red wines recommended in Valea Calugareasca centre, respectively Cabernet Sauvignon (ecological and classical plantation), Merlot, Feteasca Neagra and Pinot Noir. The sampling has been performed during 3 harvest years, respectively 2009, 2010 and 2011. The samples have been prepared in two ways: 1) The berries have been harvested in aseptic conditions and introduced in an Erlenmeyer with sterile distillated water in order to collect the yeast from the grape surfaces. After 24 hours of shaking, from the suspension, plates with YEPD have been inoculated and cultivated during 48 72 hours at 27 o C. 2) The berries have been crushed in aseptic conditions and the natural fermentation has occurred. During the fermentation, three moments for sampling have been chosen: beginning, middle and final phase of the fermentation.

CONCLUSION During 2009-2011 there have been isolated, purified and identified 252 yeast strains from Dealu Mare vineyard- Valea Calugareasca centre. These strains belong both to Ascomycota and Basidiomycota and we have identified 24 species belonging to 12 genera, from which 7 are sporogene. The prevalence rate of different yeast strains isolated in the research shows that yeast varies in their morphological and physiological characteristics. A collection of microorganisms with 225 yeast strains, proving high enological potential formed by the Saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces strains was built.
