During the search and review of publications concerning yeasts with decolorizing capacity for azo dyes, we found that often researchers have given different names to the same yeast species. Some authors gave the name of the anamorph (which is the asexual or mitosporic form), some the name of its teleomorph (which is the sexual or meiosporic form), and others an obsolete name. For example, T. Candida is an obsolete name for Candida famata, the anamorph phase of Debaryomyces hansenii.

A riboflavin production process based on Candida famata, another natural riboflavin-overproducing fungus growing as yeast, was developed and used for commercial riboflavin production by Coors Brewing Company, USA. Later, Archer Daniels Midland Company, USA, acquired the process and produced riboflavin from hydrolyzed corn starch. Meanwhile, the process is not used at the industrial scale anymore.

Species other than Saccharomyces, in particular apiculated yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Kloeckera apiculata), are present on the grape and are sometimes found at the beginning of fermentations. These species have fewer polymorphous karyotypes and fewer bands than in Saccharomyces. Versavaud et al. (1993) differentiated between strains of apiculated yeast species and Candida famata by using restriction endonucleases at rare sites (Not 1 and Sfl I). The endonucleases cut the chromosomes into a limited number of fragments, which were then separated by pulse-field electrophoresis.
