(i) Tests of ability to grow on organic compounds are only done semi-aerobically; this makes many results difficult to interpret. (ii) Many results remain unpublished because information on individual strains is condensed into a description of the species. Suggestions are made for improving test methods, collating existing results and analysing associations between the results of different tests so that a comprehensive comparative study of yeast nutrition may be built up.", }
