Technical Abstract:
This chapter describes the ascomycete yeast genus Millerozyma and is to be published in "The Yeasts, A Taxonomic Study, 5th edition." The genus Millerozyma has two described species that were earlier assigned to the genus Pichia, but gene sequence analysis showed that the species, now reclassified in the new genus Millerozyma, were actually not part of the Pichia clade. M. acaciae was isolated from acacia trees in South Africa. M. farinosa is distributed worldwide and occurs in agricultural products as well as in other substrates.
