| Abstract: | A flow microcalorimetric procedure has been developed for the characterization of representative strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Sacch. uvarum (carlsbergensis) used in the food industry. Growth in a chemically defined medium containing single and mixed sugars gave reproducible and characteristic power-time curves. The technique is proposed as a rapid alternative method for the characterization of yeast strains selected for commercial use. |
