This paper presents the identification of new isolates (micro-organisms) from mature grapes berries & leaves of specific grape varieties and soil from Oprișor area, using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Red grape varieties taken in study were: Cabernet Sauvignon, two Merlot varieties and Shiraz. In the previous study we identified yeast by MALDI-TOF from this wine area. For each variety of red grapes, leaves and soil samples have been also studied. The main micro-organisms from soil were Bacillus sp. from Cabernet area. From Shiraz and Merlot grapes samples the MALDI-TOF score value was 1.26 respectively 1.552, indicating a not reliable identification using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These samples have been also characterized from microscopic and macroscopic point of view. Part of the samples which did not give reliable results by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry will be the object for the next studies for more precise identification using techniques of molecular taxonomy.
