SACCHAROMYCES MANDSHURICUS 



253 



The temperature limits for budding on beer wort are: minimum 

 0.5 C. and maximum 46-47 C. 

 The maximum temperature of 

 sporulation is situated between 32 

 and 34, the minimum temperature 

 being between 4 and 8. The op- 

 timum is between 22 and 25 C. 

 (Klocker J ). Sporulation is effected 

 very easily and most abundantly in 

 yeast water with 10% of must, and 

 on plaster blocks. The ascospores 

 are spherical or oval and measure 

 3.5 fji in diameter. 



This species produces only traces 

 of a scum which appears only after 

 two or three months of culturing 

 on must. Its scum is made up of 

 ellipsoidal cells with a few elongated 

 and sausage shaped. 



In beer wort this produces after 

 a long time from 1 to 3 % of alcohol 

 by volume. 



It inverts and ferments saccharose. It also ferments dextrose, 

 d-mannose, d-galactose, levulose, raffinose and inuline, but it does 

 not act on melibiose.
