Abstract
Calvatia spp. were able to utilize a variety of C sources when grown in Lindeberg''s medium plus thiamin. Three strains of C. gigantea and 1 of C. fragilis grew best on the following: dextrin, cellobiose, invert sugar, glycogen, starch, and maltose. Only 1 strain grew well on fructose and mannose, indicating a variation in enzymatic activity in the organisms. The other C sources were used to a lesser degree or not at all.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
