The effect of levorin on yeast-like fungi under (different) cultivation conditions was studied. It was shown that the medium composition and incubation temperature affected the results of determination of the test-culture sensitivity to levorin. There was correlation between the time of the population lag-phase and the critical time of the zone formation and these values depended on the temperature of the test-microbe vegetation. Strain 037 of C. utilis was more sensitive to levorin and had a longer lag-phase as compared to the other species of the yeast-like fungi, which provided favourable conditions for formation of the growth inhibition zones.
