Abstract
Yeasts and filamentous fungi were collected from 67 stations throughout Lake St. Clair. Organisms from water samples were isolated by filtration through membrane filters and cultured on a selective agar medium. Representative colonies of the predominant types of yeasts and filamentous fungi and certain bacteria were identified. Yeasts and yeast-like fungi, including Rhodotorula, Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aureobasidium species, were widely distributed in densities of 1 to 1,000 colony forming units per 100 mL. The presence of these quantities and types of yeasts in the water may be related to nutrients of municipal and industrial inputs into these waters.
