Kluyveromyces is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae.[2] Some of the species, such as K. marxianus, are the teleomorphs of Candida species.
The genus name of Kluyveromyces is in honour of Albert Jan Kluyver ForMemRS (1888-1956), who was a Dutch microbiologist and biochemist.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Johannes P. Van der Walt in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek vol.22 on pages 268–271 in 1956.
Mating and sporulation in Kluyveromyces are co-induced by poor environments and most often occur in succession without intervening diploid mitotic cell divisions.[4]
A RAD52 gene homolog from Kluyveromyces lactis was cloned and characterized.[5] This gene, which has a central role in recombinational repair of DNA, can complement S. cerevisiae rad52 mutants.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
