candida.oxidation.fermentation: Hartigan (1975) Oxidation-Fermentation Patterns

Description

The table contains the oxidation-fermentation patterns for a sample of species of Candida in terms of acid production. This is Table 15.1 in Chapter 15 Hartigan (2975) on page 279.

Usage

data(candida.oxidation.fermentation)

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 8 observations on the following 13 variables.

name: a character vector for the species name
glucose: a factor for glucose with levels +
maltose: a factor for maltose with levels - +
sucrose: a factor for sucrose with levels - +
lactose: a factor for lactose with levels - +
galactose: a factor for galactose with levels - +
melibiose: a factor for melibiose with levels - +
cellobiose: a factor for cellobiose with levels - +
inositol: a factor for inositol with levels -
xylose: a factor for xylose with levels - +
raffinose: a factor for raffinose with levels - +
trehalose: a factor for trehalose with levels - +
dulcitol: a factor for dulcitol with levels - +

Details

A '+' level means oxidative production of acid where as a '-' level means no acide production. Hartigan suggests using direct joining on this data set.
