Urediniomycete yeasts Sporidiales : Sporobolomyces asexual spores which are ejected from a sterigma into the air by the surface-tension catapult mechanism and are therefore called ballistoconidia. Soil and sea including deep sea Phylloplane yeast Biological control of the pathogens might be possible.

Rhodotorula Cells are subglobose, ovoid, ellipsoid or elongate Reproduction occurs by multilateral or polar budding Pseudohyphae or true hyphae may develop Ballistoconidia are not formed Fermentative ability is absent Phylloplane yeast : sensitive to UV radiation Some strains synthesize red or yellow pigments.
Ustilaginomycete yeasts Malasseziales Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum) Most Malassezia spp. were isolated from the skin of humans and other animals Most healthy humans carry Malassezia spp. The degree of sweating and the amount of lipid produced. M. globosa which causes a superficial mycosis known as pityriasis versicolor Infected skin areas differ in pigmentation from the normal skin. Treatment with shampoos or lotions containing selenium sulphide or other topical antifungal agents Pityriasisversicolor : เกลื้อน
