[Elaboration of systematic position and some physiological characteristics of collection strains of Debaryomyces hansenii (Zopf) Looder et Kreger-Van Rij].

Morphological and physiological properties of 52 strains of yeast Debaryomyces hansenii from the Ukrainian collection of microorganisms has been investigated. The belonging of 40 strains to the given species is confirmed. According to new classification 35 of them are referred to D. hansenii var. hansenii, five strains--to D.hansenii var. fabryi. It is shown, that assimilation of hydrocarbons and antagonistic properties are inherent in a small amount of strains. One half of the investigated debaryomycetes are riboflavin producers. The osmo- and galofility is inherent in all the investigated strains. These characteristics are proposed to be applied as additional ones in identification of these yeast.
