Based on morphological and physiological characters, a total of 12 species were identified, all belong to Ascomycota, where most isolates showed anamorphic species of Candida. This study has shown that the honey of stingless bees is an important source of yeasts, particularly in tropical dry environments, where the diversity of fungi is still largely unknown.}, number={4}, journal={Gaia Scientia}, author={BARBOSA, RENAN NASCIMENTO and BEZERRA, JADSON and SOUZA-MOTTA, CRISTINA and SEVERO GOMES, BRUNO and COSTA, CYNTHIA and MELO, HÉLIO}, year={2016}, month={set.} }
