Simple new test for rapid differentiation of Prototheca stagnora from P. wickerhamii and P. zopfii.
A simple new test to differentiate Prototheca wickerhamii and P. zopfii from P. stagnora by determining susceptibility to neomycin is described. Susceptibility determined using a 30 micrograms neomycin disk provides a rapid and reliable means of distinguishing P. wickerhamii and P. zopfii from P. stagnora.
