摘要：
Yeasts from a traditional alcoholic beverage were isolated and characterized using 13 carbon compounds in combination with other standard test methods. Out of a total of 108 strains, the predominant genus wasSaccharomyces withSaccharomyces cerevisiae being the species in single majority. Two strains ofSaccharomyces were found to be capable of both aerobic and semi-aerobic ethanolic fermentation. Using a combination of antibacterial agents, penicillin (60 μg ml-1), chloramphenicol (100 μg ml-1) and aureomycin (2 μg ml-1) it was found that fermentation in terms of ethanol production could be remarkably improved. © 1991 Academic Press Limited.
