Thirty five yeast species belonging to 14 genera from milk and 16 species belonging to 9 genera from samples of yogurt were isolated, and identified on the basis of morphological and physiological/ biochemical characteristics. These included teleomorphic and anamorphic ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeast species. All yeast species appear to be new report from Pakistan. Bullera pyricola, Candida succiphila, Debaryomyces castellii, D. hansenii and Pichia angusta were predominantly isolated from samples of milk as compared to yogurt.
