Yeasts with counts of above 10" g-' wet weight and high diversity were found in the fecal pellets of rodents and marsupials from a mosaic of forest fragments, grasslands.cultivated fields and pasture in Rio de Janeiro.The most frequently isolated yeasts were Drharyorqws hurrsmii, Piehia t?temhrttnrtejirciens and Imtt~~he~zkiu orientali.r(and its anamorph Curtclidu krusei), probably reflecting a high fruit content in the diet of these animals.The opportunistic pathogens Cm&da dhicans, Curdidu ghhrutu and Curt&da tropicalis were isolated at lower frequency.Some Pichiu momala and P. ntmzhra~taefhciens cultures had killer activity affecting many of the other isolates.These animals can be involved in dispersal of yeasts.0 1998 Federation of
