Thirty‐three strains of Saccharomyces cereuisiae were tested for the ability to degrade polygalacturonic acid. Nine strains degraded polygalacturonic acid during growth in liquid or on solid medium supplemented with glucose. This ability of certain strains of S. cereuisiae may be important in the fermentation plant products.
