In nature, there exist a wide variety of microbes that can be of any economical importance to humans. A specialized group of microorganisms includes pigmented yeasts. They are yeasts that develop colored pigment as their secondary metabolites. In this study, pigmented yeasts were isolated from different sample (soil, leaves, fruits, coconut, and air) on Sabouraud’s agar. Four strains were selected that showed pigmentation. Various morphological and biochemical tests were performed for identification of the strains. |
