461 Strains of the yeast collection of the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS) were screened for their ability to utilize 9 different amines as a sole carbon and energy source and/or as nitrogen source. A miniaturized technique with microtiter plates was used. None of the primary and methylated amines tested (i.e. methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, tetramethylammonium chloride, choline, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine and benzylamine) were utilized as a carbon and energy source, although the majority of yeasts (86%) were able to utilize one or more of these compounds as a nitrogen source. The ability to utilize ethylamine and higher homologues occurred more frequently than the ability to utilize methylated amines. In almost all genera the utilization of primary and methylated amines was found, with utilization among yeasts and the inability of these organisms to utilize amines as a carbon and energy source is discussed.
对保藏在中央真菌培养中心（CBS）的461株酵母菌株进行了筛选，以检测它们利用9种不同胺类作为唯一碳源和能源以及/或者氮源的能力。采用了微量滴定板的小型化技术。所测试的伯胺和甲基化胺（即甲胺、二甲胺、三甲胺、四甲基氯化铵、胆碱、乙胺、丙胺、丁胺和苄胺）均未被用作碳源和能源，尽管大多数酵母（86%）能够将这些化合物中的一种或多种用作氮源。利用乙胺和更高同系物的能力比利用甲基化胺的能力出现得更频繁。几乎在所有属中都发现了对伯胺和甲基化胺的利用情况，并讨论了酵母对这些胺类的利用以及这些生物体无法将胺类用作碳源和能源的情况。
