Modification of potassium nitrate assimilation test for identification of clinically important yeasts.
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.
