Abstract
I HAVE isolated two melibiose-fermenting yeasts, Saccharomyces oleaginosus1 and S. hienipiensis2, which, by means of Wickerham's method3, are capable of fermenting maltose, but which neither ferment nor assimilate saccharose. With the Delft method (Kreger-van Rij, N. J. W., private communication), slow fermentation of the saccharose was obtained.
