Yeasts are microscopic fungi inhabiting all Earth environments, including those inhospitable
for most life forms, considered extreme environments. According to their habitats, yeasts …

Pioneering studies performed in the nineteenth century demonstrated that yeasts are
present in below‐ground sources. Soils were regarded more as a reservoir for yeasts that …

• Premise of the study: Fungi are major decomposers in certain ecosystems and essential
associates of many organisms. They provide enzymes and drugs and serve as experimental …
