abstract={The aim of this study is to add value to <i>Cola</i><i> </i><i>cordifolia</i> fruit from northern C?te d'Ivoire. Owing to its high carbohydrate content, <i>Cola</i><i> </i><i>cordifolia</i> could be a suitable substrate for research into fermentative flora for food industry. In this way, yeasts were isolated from <i>Cola</i><i> </i><i>cordifolia</i> pulp and screened for potential starters. Following screening, the best strains were identified using a molecular technique to determine the species involved. The results were used to select five (5) strains showing the best growth compared with the other strains tested. These strains belong to the <i>Candida</i><i> </i><i>parapsilosis</i>, <i>Hanseniaspora</i><i> </i><i>uvaru</i>m and <i>Pichia</i><i> </i><i>manshurica</i> species. These strains could thus be used as potential starters in biotechnological applications<i>.</i><i>  </i><i>Cola</i><i> </i><i>cordifolia</i> would be crucial to the development of yeast culture collections useful for controlled fermentations.},
