Abstract:
An improved method for isolating soil yeasts in the genus Lipomyces and related genera was developed on the basis of their physiological properties. Liberation of yeast cells from soil, capture of the yeast cells by a membrane filter, and colony formation on an acidic (pH 3) nitrogen-free agar plate containing 0.1% cycloheximide resulted in success.
