ABSTRACTS In the study of microorganisms from oil palm tree ( Elaeis guineensis ) tap holes, 12 yeasts, 18 bacteria and 6 mould species were isolated. On the average half of these microfloral species were also cultured from the palm sap obtained from the tap holes. Observations of microfloral population changes during the period of tapping indicate that sap yield began to fall as soon as bacteria and yeast populations each reached 10 8 per gram of tissue.
