This study surveyed the yeast species and Prototheca species isolated from bulk tank milk in the Tokachi district of Japan from April 2020 through March 2021. The most prevalent yeast species was Pichia kudriavzevii, while Prototheca bovis was the only Prototheca species isolated. The study also observed seasonal variations in the presence of certain yeast species.
Bovine mastitis, a major infectious disease affecting milking cows, leads to reduced milk yield and quality, reduced animal welfare, and an increased need for culling. Although its major causative agents are bacteria, yeast species and achlorophyllous algae of the Prototheca genus are well known as causative agents of bovine refractory mastitis. Nevertheless, few studies have analyzed specific yeasts and Prototheca in this context. Herein, we present survey data of yeast species and Prototheca species isolated from bulk tank milk in the Tokachi district of Japan from April 2020 through March 2021. The species of 276 isolates were determined. Yeast species accounted for 184 isolates, of which Pichia kudriavzevii was the most prevalent species. Regarding Prototheca species, only Prototheca bovis was isolated (92 isolates). Prototheca bovis and Pichia kudriavzevii were detected throughout the year and were detected repeatedly on the same farm. Kluyveromyces marxianus was the second most frequently isolated yeast species after Pichia kudriavzevii. Candida parapsilosis, the fourth most frequently isolated yeast species, was found discontinuously. Analysis of monthly data indicated that Kluyveromyces marxianus and Candida parapsilosis were mainly found during the winter and summer months, respectively. Candida akabanensis and Pichia cactophila were the third and fifth most frequently isolated yeast species, respectively. They were detected repeatedly in bulk tank milk samples from the same farms. Results obtained from bulk tank milk underscore the prevalence of these species. These study results are expected to contribute to the elucidation of problematic yeast and Prototheca species.
