DIVERSITY OF <i>WICKERHAMOMYCES ANOMALUS </i>STRAINS IN ACTIVITY AGAINST PATHOGENIC <i>CANDIDA </i>SPECIES
Among 55 strains of Wickerhamomyces anomalus, the cultures that inhibit a growth of pathogenic Candida species have been revealed. These 38 strains fall into six groups by their action spectra. Only three strains secreted have been active against all seven of Candida species tested. 25 strains inhibited growth of C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii, C. tropicalis and C. viswanathii. The rest strains were few in number and active against some species only.
