Abstract
A method, using aureomycin, has been devised to isolate yeasts from corn steep liquor, soil, and apparently may be highly effective in aiding the isolation of yeasts from sources where the material is heavily populated with bacteria. A number of yeasts were not completely inhibited by aureomycin even at concns. of 500 [mu]g/ml. Four spp. of yeasts including Candida albicans were neither stimulated nor inhibited in the presence of aureomycin in liquid media at the levels used in these expts. The presence of serum either in stationary or agitated cultures does not influence the effect of aureomycin on C. albicans.
