Abstract
Microbiological studies were made of certain Indonesian foodstuffs obtained from Malang, Surakarta, and Djakarta.Saccharomyces cerevisiae andCandida solani were isolated from ragi-roti (a baker's yeast preparation). From ragi-tempe and tempe were isolatedRhizopus oryzae, R. arrhizus, R. oligosporus, R. stolonifer, Mucor Rouxii, M. javanicus andTrichosporon pullulans. The microbiological flora of ragi-tape was found to includeCandida parapsilosis, C. melinii, C. lactosa sp. nov.,Hansenula subpelliculosa, H. anomala, H. malanga sp. nov.,Chlamydomucor oryzae andAspergillus oryzae. From ragi-ketjap, used to prepare soysauce, were isolatedRhizopus oligosporus, R. arrhizus, Aspergillus oryzae, andA. flavus, the latter species probably being an accidental contaminant. Two new species are described:Candida lactosa andHansenula malanga, from ragi-tape from Surakarta and Malang, respectively.
