Abstract

---

Thirteen genera and 28 yeast species belonging to teleomorphic and anamorphic, ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeasts were isolated from samples of butter, and identified on the basis of morphological and physiological/biochemical characteristics. All yeast species appear to be newly reported from butter in Pakistan. The predominant yeast species in the samples of butter were Debaryomyces vanrijii, Pichia lynferdii and P. anomala.
