Ten groups were distinguished, which agreed well with serological groupings, thus: (1) S. bailii, S. bisporus, S. mellis and S. rouxii, of serological group A; (2) S. carlsbergen- sis and S. cartilaginosus (A); (3) S. cerevisiae (AB); (4) S. oviformis, S. steineri and S. veronae (AC) and S. bay anus and S. pastorianus (C); (5) S. acidifaciens and S. elegans (AD); (6) S. fragilis and S. marxianus (B); (7) S. chevalieri (BC); (8) S. cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus, S. diastaticus, S. logos, S. uvarum, S. willianus and a further group of strains of S. carlsbergensis (all of group C); (9) S. fermentati, S. microellipsodes and S. rosei (D); (10) S. delbrueckii (D). Serological classification offers results sufficiently close to those obtained by morphological and physiological tests to provide a rapid and reliable method of identification of Saccharomyces species. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-63-2-189
