FAMILY OF SACCHAROMYCETACEAE 



has cells intermediate between the two previous species, forms its 

 ascs at the end of four days and produces a ring at 32 C., but never 

 forms a scum. 



SCHIZOSACCHAROMYCES SAUTAWENSIS. Nakazawa 



This species was isolated by Nakazawa from sugar in Formosa. It 

 has elliptical cells when grown in beer wort (7.28.4 X 4.8 usually, 



rarely 7.2- 19.2 X 4.8 /*). The 

 optimum temperature for growth 

 on beer wort is 32 C. Ascs

are formed at the end of seven days. They are derived from 

 an isogamic copulation, possessing ellipsoidal ascospores without 

 glycogen and with starchy walls (2.5 X 3 to 3.75 jit). A ring is 



formed at from 25 to 32 C., but 

 none is produced at 37 C. It 

 gives a scum at from 25 to 27 C. 

 It ferments dextrine, dextrose, 

 d-mannose, d-galactose, d-fructose, 

 saccharose, maltose, raffinose and 

 a-methylgluco^ide. 



SACCHAROMYCES NOK- 

 KOENSIS. Nakazawa 



Isolated under the same con- 

 Fig. 80-E. - Schizosaccharomyces ditions as the preceding type, this 

 Nokkoensis. yeast possesses ellipsoidal cells on 



spores; beer wort (9.6-10.8 X 3.6-5.25, 

 rarely 4.8-16.6 X 3.6-5.2 /z). The 

 optimum temperature for growth in beer wort is 32 C. Ascs are 

 formed after two months, without a copulation. The ascospores are 

 ellipsoidal, spherical, or hemispherical (3X5 microns) without glycogen 

 and with starchy walls. A ring is produced on beer wort at 25-32 C.
