Abstract
The marine environment plays a special role in geographical and ecological system. Thus, the sea microorganism could develop the special growth mechanism, product the new active materials, and be applied with the unique function in pharmaceutics. Six sea-water samples were collected at the Kuroshio upwelling zone off the northeastern Taiwan in this study. Marine yeasts isolated from the seawater were classified by phenotype, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and the sequencing of 5.8S-ITS ribosomal DNA. Two species were found as Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Candida parapsilosis, which is isolated and reported firstly from the natural seawater.
