Abstract

Indigenous yeasts in Korea have been actively studied since 1910 in light of various fields, including environment, food fermentation, brewing, and medicine. However, a complete list of indigenous yeast species has not been addressed or reported. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the literature including yeast isolation from Korean materials and the strains preserved at culture collections was performed. The results of this study indicate the following: i) there are 128 genera and 681 species (including 26 variants) of yeast reported in Korea, ii) the reported species were trimmed into 142 genera and 500 species (including 9 variants), iii) among which only 166 species were registered in the National Species List of Korea (2020). Therefore, follow-up studies are required to register more indigenous yeast species in the National Species List of Korea.

국내 효모연구는 1910년 이래로 현재까지 주류, 식품, 환경 등의 분야에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 국내에 서식하는 효모의 종 수와 목록에 대해서는 연구된 바가 없다. 한국에서 보고된 문헌에 기재된 효모 종과 균주센터가 보유하고 있는 효모를 조사한 결과 128속 681종(26변종 포함)이 국내에서 보고된 효모 종 수로 나타났다. 발표종 681종에 대한 분류학적 재검토 결과 142속 500종(9변종 포함)으로 확인되었다. 이 중 국가생물종목록에 기재되지 않아 새롭게 등록가능성이 있는 종은 334종이다. 국가생물종목록은 국내 서식 생물의 다양성 보전 및 관리에 활용되는 자료로, 국가 생물자원의 주권확보라는 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 따라서 국내에 서식하는 것으로 보고된 효모 종의 문헌과 균주에 대한 추가 검증 연구를 통해 국가생물종목록에 등록하는 후속 연구가 필요하다.
