The Wickerhamomycetaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales that reproduce by budding. Species in the family have a widespread distribution.
Genus Wickerhamomyces used to be placed within Phaffomycetaceae family, until 2008 when it was separated and placed within its own order Wickerhamomycetaceae.[1]
Beneficially, various Wickerhamomyces species have been used in a number of biotechnologically applications, such as in the environment, food, beverage industries, (including wine making,[2] ) biofuel, medicine and agriculture.[3]
