Metschnikowia is a genus of yeast in the family Metschnikowiaceae. Cells are usually spherical to ellipsoid. Asci are elongate and contain one or two needle shaped ascospores. Metschnikowia bicuspidata is the type species.[1] Metschnikowia pulcherrima has been investigated for use in winemaking[2][3] and as a substitute for Palm oil.[4]
