title: A medium for the detection of yeasts using a conductimetric method.
abstract: A new medium is described for the detection of yeasts using a Malthus microbial growth analyser which measures conductivity. This medium is superior to previous media devised for use in the Malthus, and allows the detection of a wide range of yeasts including those important in food spoilage. The new medium was inferior to existing media used to detect yeasts in the Bactometer 32 instrument which measures impedance.
