Microbial biodiversity studies in extreme environments have increased in the last decades, including those focused on highly acidic habitats. However, very little is still known about yeasts inhabiting acidic aquatic environments. In this work we resume our investigations related to yeast diversity and ecology from highly acidic water bodies (pH
