Abstract
In the presence of glycerol or ethanol, SCPP (a strain of Saccharomyce s cerevisiae that expresses pectinolytic activity) is capable of utili zing galacturonic acid or pectins for growth purposes. We now establis h a relationship between the pectinolytic power of various strains of S. cerevisiae and their ability to grow on a pectin/glycerol-based med ium. This property is further exploited for the detection of polygalac turonase-producing strains of S. cerevisiae.
