Thirty five yeast species belonging to 14 genera from milk and 16 species belonging to 9 genera from samples of yogurt were isolated, and identified on the basis of morphological and physiological/biochemical characteristics. These included teleomorphic and anamorphic ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeast species. All yeast species appear to be new report from Pakistan. Bullera pyricola¸ Candida succiphila, Debaryomyces castellii, D. hansenii and Pichia angusta were predominantly isolated from samples of milk as compared to yogurt.
