Recent studies have shown that dense yeast populations often occurring in floral nectar are numerically dominated by a few species from the flower-insect interface specialized genus Metschnikowia, while generalist yeast species commonly occurring on leaf surfaces, soil, freshwater, and air were rarely isolated from nectar samples.
