Doubling times were measured during exponential growth of 19 strains belonging to 10 of the 17 species of the yeast genus Kluyveromyces . Growth was in shaken aerobic batch culture at 25°C, in a chemically defined medium with d ‐glucose as sole carbon source. Doubling times were strikingly uniform, being mainly between 2 and 3.5 h.
