title: Modification of potassium nitrate assimilation test for identification of clinically important yeasts.
abstract: The modification of an auxanographic method used in yeast species identification to determine potassium nitrate (KNO3) assimilation resulted in a simple and inexpensive KNO3 assimilation test medium. The medium provided accurate and reliable results in less than 24 h.
