Nine morphologically different strains of yeasts were isolated from fresh, fermenting and fermented juice of mahua flowers and identified by both morphological and biochemical characteristics. The yeasts belonged to six genera namely, Kloeckera ( Kl. apiculata ), Candida ( C. krusei and C. tropicalis ), Torulopsis ( T. apicola and Torulopsis sp.), Pichia ( P. terricola ), Saccharomyces ( S. chevalieri and S. cerevisiae ) and an unidentified genus.
