Abstract

The processes preceding the development of asci and the ornamentation of the ascospore wall of several strains of Lipomyces were studied by light and by electron microscopy. The polysaccharides excreted by living cells were analyzed by paperchromatography. Standard descriptions and latin diagnoses of L. kononenkoae and L. tetrasporus are presented. A key is given for the identification of the species.
