Abstract

The examination of a total of 301 yeast cultures collected from 22 water samples in the Miami River has demonstrated the presence of 18 different yeasts, including 6 sporogenous and 12 asporogenous species.

The more frequent species were Sacch. carlsbergensis (100%), Cand. tropicalis (31%), Pichia fermentans (22%) Torulopsis glabrata (18%) and Cryptococcus albidus (18%).

Comparison of Miami River studies with earlier collections made in Key Biscayne soil as well as in Biscayne Bay reveals the occurrence of common species in all three habitats.
