ABSTRACT Palm wine is a cheap source of yeast that can augment for the more expensive commercial subsequently characterized and identified. Seven randomly selected palm wines were cultured by streak plate and spread plate method. Obtained results showed three primary yeast species Saccharomycescerevisiae, Saccharomyces globobus and Saccharomyces carlsbengensis. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found in all samples while Saccharomyces globobus and Saccharomyces carlsbengensis had 71.43% occurrence (5/7) and 57.14 %(4/7). Yeast isolated from palm wine can be used in the production ofwine.
