Abstract
Of 10 samples of lunch meats studied, 9 yielded strains of Debaryomyces which assimilated nitrite but had no action on nitrate. These are believed to be the first yeasts known to act in this way. Stock cultures of Debaryomyces membranaefaciens NRRL Y-1455 and its variety hollandicus NRRL Y-1271, which are known to have had no contact with nitrite for the past 11 years, grew in nitrite medium about as rapidly as did the strains freshly isolated from lunch meat. Abundant growth was produced in 2 to 3 days at 25[degree]C.Keywords
