Abstract
Seventy-seven properties ofAureobasidium pullulans including utilization of various carbon sources, decomposition of the lignin-cellulose complex and the respective enzymes were checked in the present communication. According to these properties the group of 43 strains was separated in three parts, out of which two groups were found to belong to varietiesA. pullulans var.pullulans andA. pullulans var.melanigenum. The third group formed a marginal part. The two varieties differed in numerous biochemical markers, particularly in the absence of monophenol monooxygenase in the varietyA. pullulans var.pullulans.
