Summary
A medium containing an extract of rabbit stomach contents for the growth ofSaccharomycopsis guttulata (Robin) Schiönning is described. Growth characteristics and tentative fermentation and carbon assimilation patterns are reported. Nitrate assimilation could not be determined with the media available. Sporulation has been observed on artificial media.
The growth promoting substance is heat stable and non dialysable, it appears to be destroyed by precipitation of protein from the active extract solution.
The possibility of transferringS. guttulata to the genusSaccharomyces and discarding the genusSaccharomycopsis is discussed.
A culture ofSaccharomycopsis guttulata has been deposited at the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Delft.
