| Abstract: | A total of 13 yeast strains were isolated from 10 samples of sugar cane molasses obtained from sugar mills in Mexico; nine of them were killer strains. There was at least one killer strain in every sample. The resulting species were the following: Torulaspora delbrueckii (2), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (7), Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus (1) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (3). A new killer species is reported: Schizosaccharomyces pombe . |
