In this study, agglutinating sera against K. africana, K. corticis, K. javanica var. javanica and K. javanica var lafarii are prepared. Cross agglutination and absorption tests are carried out with these four Kloeckera strains and an antigenic relationship is shown (see table I). There were no antigenic relationship between K. apicuata var. apis and these four Kloeckera strains. Also, in this paper, previous studies, like using Salmonella 0 : 6(2) agglutinating serum for serological differential diagnosis between K. javanica var. javanica and K. javanica var. lafarii and antigenic relationship between K. africana and Salmonella 0 : II and E. coli 0 : 75 antigens were also mentioned.

Abstract
In this paper, the antigenic relationship among standard T. insectalens and T. musae strains and other 11 standard Torulopsis are investigated using simultaneous agglutination and absorption experiments. These experiments also showed that T. insectalens and T. musae have special antigenic fractions, different from Torulopsis antigens.
In this paper a common antigenic factor among Salmonella choleraesuis 0 antigen and standard Metschnikowia bicuspidata var. bicuspidata and M. pulcherrima strains is shown. This common factor was not present in M. bicuspidata var. australis, M. bicuspidata var. california, M. krissii and M. reukaufii strains. M. bicuspidata var. chathamia and M. zobellii showed agglutination in the previous experiments. According to these results, the use of S. choleraesuis 0:6,7 agglutinating serum for slide and tube agglutination tests can be a diagnostic aid for typing above mentioned Metschnikowia strains along with the other tests.
