A critical study of the taxonomic value of some tests of assimilation used for the classification of the sporogenous yeasts

A critical study of the taxonomic value of some tests of assimilation used for the classification of the sporogenous yeasts

J B Fiol. Mycopathologia. .

Abstract

Six texts of assimilation used in the taxonomy of yeasts, (lactose, maltose, cellobiose, trehalose, melibiose, sucrose) have been critically tested by the examination of intracellular enzymic systems. The results obtained among the sporogenous species of Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces, Pichia, Hansenula, Debaryomyces indicate that cellobiose, lactose, maltose and trehalose tests no longer supply an important value for the speciation, because the number of cryptical osidases is so high.
