Further modifications of the auxanographic method for identification of yeasts

P A Mickelsen et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

A modified auxanographic carbohydrate assimilation procedure for the identification of medically important yeasts is described. This method employs a heavy inoculum of unstarved yeasts, autoclaved yeast assimilation medium, pour plates of shallow depth, and commercially available carbohydrate-impregnated disks. The accuracy of this procedure was established in a comparison with the Wickerham broth method.
