The Use of Scanning Electron Microscopy to Show Confluent Growth of a Saccharomyces and a Leuconostoc Species

Abstract

An i n vitro association between cells of 8accharomyces cerevihae and 8Leuconostoc sp. has been demonstrated using the SCaMing electron microsoope. These organism are often naturally associated in fruit products and fermenting beverages such aa apple juice and cider.

Scanning Electron Microscopy of Yeast Colonies

“…8 Greenwood & O'Grady3 and other workers4 '5 have used glutaraldehyde treatments to facilitate observation of bacterial cells before and after exposure to antibiotics, and some studies10'11 have been made of bacterial colony structures. There has been some work7 on yeast morphology and surface structures.…”
