Summary
The examination of a total of 98 yeast cultures collected from the buds, the open flowers and the host animals of 8 different species of plants and from the related soils of the vessels in a greenhouse, has demonstrated the presence of 13 different yeasts, including 3 sporogenous and 10 asporogenous species. The more frequent species were:
Torulopsis bacillaris (Kr. et Krumbh.) Lodder (frequency 37.5%) and Candida reukaufii (Grüss) Diddens et Lodder (37.5%), on the open flowers.
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (Jörg.) Harrison (37.5%), and Rhodotorula glutinis (Fres.) Harrison var. rubescens (Saito) Lodder (25%), on the bud flowers.
Torulopsis bacillaris (Kr. et Krumbh.) Lodder (50%) on the animals.
Saccharomyces ellipsoideus Hansen (37.5%) and Pichia fermentans Lodder (37.5%), in the soils of the related vessels.
The yeast like form Aureobasidium pullulans (De Bary) Arnaud, has 50% of frequency on the bud flowers and 12.5% on the open flowers.
