Effect of temperature and osmotic stress on the growth and cell viability of Candida maltosa
Article in Press
With a prior examination to bacterial response toward heat and osmotic stresses, the present research attempted to observe these effects on yeast species in cheese. The Candida maltosa yeast strain was isolated from cheese and identified through biochemical characteristics as well as finally confirmed by BIOLOGTM microbial identification system. To understand its growth and budding pattern within high temperature and...
