The “yeast-like fungi” seem to be placed in a taxonomical “no man's land” between the interests of bacteriologists and mycologists. They may be isolated and studied by means of techniques that are essentially more bacteriological than mycological. Yet they appear to have been considered alien to the interests of bacteriologists and of little interest to the mycologists. Since yeast-like fungi are a group of microorganisms of varied morphology (328) it is difficult to present a precise botanical definition of them. Skinner (328) has stated that one is justified in calling an organism “yeast-like” if that organism produces yeast-like daughter cells from mycelium.
