Yarrowia lipolytica is an ascomycetous yeast commonly found in meats, including sausages, and dairy products, especially cheeses. Its anamorph is Candida lipolytica . This yeast is a valued component of starter cultures for some sausages and cheeses, but it causes spoilage in other products. It is used for many biotechnological applications, including the production of citric acid, enzymes, and pharmaceuticals, and for the bioremediation of wastes.
