Eighteen of 19 strains ofSaccharomycopsis fibuligera and one of two strains ofS. capsularis produced mixtures of C14 -C18 2-D-hydroxy acids in liquid culture medium. The mixture of these acids showed antimicrobial activity againstVibrio tyrogenus but not against the other microorganisms tested.Candida lactosa , a recently described species, was shown to be an isolates ofS. fibuligera .
