Abstract

Representatives of three new asporogenous species,Candida flavificans, Candida inositophila, andTorulopsis sorbophila were isolated from washings of ion-exchange resin in a guanosine monophosphate manufacturing plant. The DNA base composition, proton-magnetic-resonance spectrum of extracted polysaccharides, and serological characteristics of the yeasts were investigated in addition to the characteristics commonly employed. Descriptions of the new species are given.
