A fourth biotype, Microtus, describes Medievalis isolates lacking arabinose fermentation. The following biochemical tests were performed on the isolates displaying pyrrolidonyl-arylamidase activity: mannitol, arabinose, sorbitol, raffinose, lactose, and sucrose carbohydrate fermentation tests; arginine deamination; acidification of methyl-[alpha]-D-glucopyranoside; pyruvate utilization; and isolate pigmentation. NCGA is working with the Corn Refiners Association and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to develop an arabinose utilizing yeast and good progress has been made during the last year in solving one of the more difficult steps in conversion. |
