RESUMO

We devised a system of presumptive identification of some yeasts that uses the Autobac 1 (Pfizer Inc.) instrument to detect carbon assimilation by 218 strains of Candida and Torulopsis. This system compared favorably with a conventional system of yeast identification and also with the Uni-Yeast-Tek (Corning Medical) and API (Analytab Products Inc.) methods.
