A. Zhdanov Leningrad State University, Leningrad, U.S.S.R. These strains have been referred to by Inge-Vechtomov and colleagues as “hydrocarbon-utilizing mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.” However, we were unable to confirm this identification. According to the taxonomic criteria in general use, including deoxyribonucleic acid base composition, these strains closely resemble those of Candida maltosa. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-28-3-427
