Abstract

|
|
|
208 yeast strains were isolated from air at El-Minia city, Egypt. Using 22 morphological and physiological merkmals, these strains were identified and assignned to eight species belonging to seven genera. Rhodotorula mucitaginosa and Cryptococcus albidus were the most dominant species followed by Debaryomyces hansenii. These yeast species occurred regularly, whereas other species appeared sporadically. Rh. rubra, Saccharomyces kluyveri and Rh. aurantiaca were also isolated from the sampled air. The results of this study showed that time, hight and area of air sampling affect composition and total counts of yeast microflora in the air.
