Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and various species of Candida were isolated and identified from the Al-Baqa'a sewage treatment station. Potentially pathogenic yeasts were detected in sewage samples and Candida krusei was found in the treated effluent. There was a 90-100% reduction in the number of yeast found in treated sewage effluent compared with raw sewage. Seasonal variations of total yeast counts are also reported.
