There were 75,000 yeasts/g. on the moss; species recovered were Cryptococcus laurentii, C. albidus and Rhodotorula minuta. Yeasts were isolated from 8 of the 12 soil samples in numbers up to 5000/g. Strains of Candida scottii, whose maximum growth temperature was c. 15°, were the predominant soil yeasts. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-23-2-295
