| Abstract |
A new yeast-like fungus isolated from jam on two occasions is described as Trichosporonoides nigrescens. It is a true xerophile, able to grow at water activities at least as low as 0.75. For this reason, its carbon assimilation pattern was examined using both dilute (standard) and concentrated carbon sources: six to nine compounds not assimilated at the standard concentrations of 0.5% (0.001 to 0.1 mol/kg) were assimilated at 1.5 to 2.0 mol/kg. Cell wall and septal ultrastructure, DNA base ratios, and the nuclear cycle were examined to determine the generic and higher taxonomic affinities of this microorganism. All properties were consistent with its assignment to Trichosporonoides Haskins et Spencer. However, while ultrastructure indicated an affinity with the Basidiomycetes, the mitotic nuclear cycle and the xerophilic nature of this fungus suggested an Ascomycete affinity. The GC content (57%) is consistent with assignment to either. No teleomorphic state was found. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 April 2020.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#601
of 2,151 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,845
of 6,763 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,151 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 6,763 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
