These sets of physiological and biochemical tests are suitable for differentiating all organisms belonging to a given group. Membership functions are defined which are able to reflect the time dependence of the test reaction states. The result is a suboptimal solution characterized by short feature sets of high diagnostic value. An application to Rhodotorula species is shown.", }
