The dikaryon of Trimorphonzycc,.~ papilioncicc.ous, one of basidiornycetous yeast needed thiamine as a growth factor and required relatively simple nutrient components. This organism grem best at 25$^{\circ}$C. anci showed broad pH range (pH 4.0-7.0). It was groM,n in liquid minimal media with various carbon sources and they could be classilied into 3 groups as follows. Glucose. fructose. mannose, sucrose and xylose (A gi.oup) supportecl good growth (>OD 0.8), and showed poor laccase activity (less than 1.5 u'mg protein). Galactose and gluconate (B group) showed moderate growth (01) 0.3-0.6). and hail moderatc crlzyrne activity (4-6u). Arabinosc. lactose. maltose ant1 pyruvate (C 5roup) showed poor growth (OD 0.1-0.2). and showed high enzyme activity (higher than 8 u). Kibosc, acetate. citrate. lactate and oxaloacetate showed no growth. When the yeast was grown in a medium which had two carbon sources (glucose and arabinose). laccase was regul;~tecl by the cutahoiitc repression.
