Preliminary notes on yeasts associated with necrotic cactus stems from different localities in Brazil
The yeast species found in necrotic stems of three columnar cacti (Pilosocereus machrisii, Pilosocereus vilaboensis, and Praecereus euchlorus)at eight localities in Brazil were described and a similarity analysis using Sorensen distances was used to compare the composition of yeast species at these...
