Four yeasts, Hansenula anomala, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Lodderomyces elongisporus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were cultured in two presporulation media at 30 ° C. Media consisted of yeast extract — peptone — acetate and yeast extract — peptone — dextrose broths. Except for K. fragilis, the test yeasts reached a high degree of sporulation when transferred to acetate- and ethanol-supplemented sporulation media. The percentage of S. cerevisiae cells forming asci was as high as 79% after 24 h incubation. H. anomala and L. elongisporus sporulated more rapidly in ethanol- compared to acetate-containing medium. Within test parameters, the concentration of acetate or ethanol, pH, and incubation temperature (25 ° C and 30 ° C) did not substantially influence the extent of sporulation. |
