Isolation of Yeasts utilizing Phthalic Compounds as a Sole Carbon Source

Abstract
|
|
|
|
Three isolates of yeast utilizing phthalic compounds as a sole carbon source were obtained from the surface waters exposed to the industrial effluents near Cheong Ju city. On the basis of microscopic observations on morphology and various biochemical characterizations, the three isolates were identifed as a species of Rhodotorula, Candida or Torulopsis. A number of aromatic chemicals including phthalic compounds would support the growth of these yeasts as a sole carbon source, Thus, the yeast isolates would have potentials in reduction of environmental burden due to industrial wastes of aromatic hydrocarbons.
