R ale , V.B. & V akil , J.R. 1984. A note on an improved molybdate agar for the selective isolation of yeasts from tropical fruits. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 409–413. Molybdate agar was fortified with 0.125% calcium propionate and used for routine isolation and differentiation of a variety of yeasts from mixed floras including large numbers of fungi and actinomycetes inhabiting tropical fruits. The results suggest that this technique could be usefully incorporated in yeast isolation and identification procedures.
