Aureobasidium pullulans, popularly known as black yeast, is one of
the most widespread saprophyte fungus associated with wide a range
of terrestrial and aquatic habitats, in temperate and tropical
environment. It is a polymorphic fungus able to grow in single
yeast-like cells or as septate, polykaryotic hyphae showing
synchronous conditions, with budding cells. This fungus has been
exploited potentially for commercial production of various enzymes
(amylase, xylanase, and pectinase etc.), single cell protein,
alkaloids and a polysaccharide namely pullulan. In the light of the
above facts, this review article has emphasized on the orientation,
morphology, biochemical characteristics, habitats and its economic
potentials with special reference to pullulan.
