Yeasts in Nonpolar Cold Habitats
The main terrestrial cold areas (outside Antarctica and the Arctic and subarctic regions, viz., the Earth strip running approximately between 60N and 60S) are those covered by glaciers and permafrost soil, primarily confined in the Himalayas, Andes, and European high mountains and only little portio...

The main terrestrial cold areas (outside Antarctica and the Arctic and subarctic regions, viz., the Earth strip running approximately between 60N and 60S) are those covered by glaciers and permafrost soil, primarily confined in the Himalayas, Andes, and European high mountains and only little portions in other parts of the globe. The study of microbial (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) biological diversity in nonpolar cold habitats represents a contribution to obtain a better defined picture of fungal diversity (including yeasts) inhabiting those ecosystems. The present chapter will provide an overview of both culturable and non-culturable yeast diversity found in nonpolar cold habitats. Yeasts found were identified as belonging to a number of ascomycetous and basidiomycetous species: among them, Basidiomycota dominated yeast diversity; in particular, species of the genera Cystofilobasidium, Dioszegia, Filobasidium, Holtermanniella, Leucosporidium, Mrakia, Naganishia, Rhodotorula, Saitozyma, Solicoccozyma, and Vishniacozyma were the most abundant.
