PH and growth of Torulopsis pintolopesii in media containing various sugars as carbon and energy sources.

Growth within the pH range 2 to 8 of a strain of the yeast Torulopsis pintolopesii was tested in media containing various sugars as carbon and energy sources. Of the sugars tested, only D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-mannose supported growth of the yeast. In media containing those sugars, the organism grew over the entire pH range tested.
