Yarrowia is a fungal genus in the family Dipodascaceae. For a while the genus was monotypic, containing the single species Yarrowia lipolytica, a yeast that can use unusual carbon sources, such as hydrocarbons.[4] Molecular phylogenetics analysis has revealed several other species that have since been added to the genus.[5][6][7]
