In 1981, yeast-like organisms were for the first time studied from plant material in Cuba. From 80 samples, 62 isolates were obtained and categorized into six groups: smut-like organisms, apiculate yeasts, Candida and Torulopsis, Rhodotorula, Aureobasidium, and various others. All isolates grew at 42°C and produced a broad spectrum of hydrolytic enzymes.
