Abstract
A rapid and simple assay was developed for detection of yeast colonies containing dying or dead cells. Methylene blue, phloxin B, rose bengal and trypan blue at concentrations of 5-10 micromol l(-1) were shown to stain non-viable cells in colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida albicans and Filobasidium capsuligenum without staining or affecting the viability of living cells of the colonies.Entities:
