15 strains of Pullularia, Rhodotorula, Bullera and Torulopsis were tested for acetylene reduction under anaerobic and low pO e (0.05) conditions. No production of ethylene was observed and it is concluded that nitrogenase activity is absent. In a previous publication (Millbank, 1969) a study of the
