I run fermentations with a mycobacter strain which utilizes vinyl
chlorid as carbon and energy source. Vinyl chlrorid is very toxic and
infections with other strains where not expected.
But since several month we have an infection with the yeast candida
sp. which utilizes the mycobacter as carbon source :-(
We tried caprylate to inhibit the yeast. It worked, but the mycobacter
strain was inhibited, too.
Does anyone knows another specific "antibiotikum" which does inhibit a
yeast and not a bacterial strain ?
