Description of Kodamaea ohmeri YI 7

Cells are oval shaped, and budding is polar ( Fig. 1 ). Colonies are convex, smooth, dull and white colored after 3 days of incubation on YM agar at 25℃. In the API 20C AUX, strain YI7 is positive for assimilation of L- arabi- nose (w, weak), adonitol (w), D- lactose (bovine origin) (w), D- melezitose (w), glucose, glycerol, 2-keto-D- gluconate, D- galactose, D- sorbitol, d-methyl-D- glucoside, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- cellobiose, D- maltose, D- saccharose (sucrose), D- trehalose and D- raffinose; but negative for D- xylose, xylitol and inositol.
