title: [Screening and identification of high-yield poly(β-malic acid) bacterial  strain].
abstract: To isolate and identify the high-yield poly-malic acid (PMLA) bacterial strains from the nature.
  
  
  
  Samples were collected and cultured. The high-yield PMLA bacterial strains were screened through morphological observation, qualitative PMLA tests by HPLC and ITS sequence analysis on the isolated bacterial strains.
  
  
  
  A high-yield PMLA strain II 04 was isolated, the yield of PMLA of the strain reached to 26.23g/L in the rotary shaker at 25 degree for 7d. From morphological observation and ITS sequences analysis, the strain belonged to Aureobasidium pullulans, and named as Aureobasidium pullulans ZUCC-41.
  
  
  
  A high-yield bacterial strain has been isolated from the nature and identified to be Aureobasidium pullulans.
