Abstract

A new yeast species is described,C. steatolytica, which strongly hydrolizes fat and grows withi-inositol as the sole source of carbon. OtherCandida species capable of usingi-inositol are compared and their classification discussed.C. nivalis andC. frigida are considered to be synonymous withC. curiosa andC. curvata withC. humicola. C. punicea produces ballistospores and must be rejected from the genusCandida.
