Abstract
A comparison of the results obtained using the classical methods was carried out with those of the API ATB 32C system in identifying 34 yeast strains isolated from goat cheese of the Armada variety. The results of both identification systems coincided exactly in 13 strains (∼1/3 of the strains studied). In 5 strains (∼1/7) the identification carried out using the API ATB 32C system can be considered as satisfactory since it gave as a result the imperfect forms of the identified species using the classical methods. In 3 strains (∼1/10) the result obtained using the classical methods did not coincide with that offered by the API ATB 32C system. Finally 13 strains (∼1/3) could not be identified using the API 32C strips. The results obtained show once again the importance of the morphological and sexual tests in order to carry out a reliable identification of foodborne yeasts.
