Abstract
An improved method for isolating soil yeasts in the genus Lipomyces and rel ated genera was developed on the basis of their physiological properties. L iberation of yeast cells from soil, capture of the yeast cells by a membran e filter, and colony formation on an acidic (pH 3) nitrogen-free agar plate containing 0.1% cycloheximide resulted in success.
