Abstract
A total of 15 yeast species belonging to 9 genera were isolated from 40 slime flux samples collected from Acacia nilotica, Albizzia lebbeck and Aralia cachemirica trees and identified on the basis of their morphological and physiological/biochemical characters. The isolated yeast species belonged to teleomorphic and anamorphic ascomycetous and basidiomycetous fungi and appeared to be new records from Pakistan. Fibulobasidium inconspicuum and Pichia anomala were predominant and commonly isolated from slime fluxes of all the three trees.
