摘要
Leifert, C., Waites, W.M., Nicholas, J.R. & Keetley, J.W. 1990. Yeast contaminants of micropropagated plant cultures. Journal of Applied Bacteriology69, 471–476. Of 36 yeast strains isolated from contaminated plant cultures 78% were Candida, 20%Rhodotorula and 2% were Cryptococcus species. Strains of Candida guilliermon‐dii represented 45% of all yeasts isolated. Yeasts grew rapidly on plant growth media with a pH of between 2.5 and 6.0 and decreased the medium pH to values of between 2.0 and 3.0. Candida yeasts growing on plant medium for 28 d metabolized about 75% of the sucrose and produced fermentation products such as ethanol and acetic acid. In contrast, Rhodotorula did not produce ethanol or acetic acid and only metabolized about 20% of the sucrose. Possible sources of contamination are discussed. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell.
