title: [Daily and weekly variations in the yeast-digestive flora of a female of giant panda (author's transl)].
abstract: Since its arrival at the Paris's zoological Park, the yeasts of the flora digestive tract of a young female of Giant Panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca, was daily, then weekly studied. Were noted: the diet in captivity, the number of isolates in primary-cultures, the morpho-physiological differences between strains of a same species and the maximal temperature for growth of all the fungi. Were also approached, for the analysis, some data on the yeast-flora of other captive mammals and on the yeast species of the habitat. Short time colonization recorded seems the result of a difficulty of adaptation, even for C. albicans, to the digestive tract of that animal. The majority of the yeasts identified are transient microorganisms of alimentary, aquatic or aerial origin.
