Rhodotorula és un llevat pigmentat que forma part del fílum Basidiomycota, és fàcilment distingible pel fet de formar colònies de color vermell/taronja (Rhodo vol dir vermell en grec) quan creix en agar SDA. El color de la colònia pot variar. Els cultius de Rhodotorula serveixen per produir bioproteïnes. El contingut de nitrogen d'aquests llevats en estat sec és de l'1% molt lluny del 14% de la maoria d'altres bacteris cultivats.[1] Espècies Rhodotorula acheniorum Rhodotorula aclotiana Rhodotorula acuta Rhodotorula americana Rhodotorula araucariae Rhodotorula arctica Rhodotorula armeniaca Rhodotorula aurantiaca Rhodotorula auriculariae Rhodotorula bacarum Rhodotorula benthica Rhodotorula biourgei Rhodotorula bogoriensis Rhodotorula bronchialis Rhodotorula buffonii Rhodotorula calyptogenae Rhodotorula chungnamensis Rhodotorula cladiensis Rhodotorula corallina Rhodotorula cresolica Rhodotorula crocea Rhodotorula cycloclastica Rhodotorula dairenensis Rhodotorula diffluens Rhodotorula evergladiensis Rhodotorula ferulica Rhodotorula foliorum Rhodotorula fragaria Rhodotorula fujisanensis Rhodotorula futronensis Rhodotorula gelatinosa Rhodotorula glacialis Rhodotorula glutinis Rhodotorula

Rhodotorula is a genus of fungi in the class Microbotryomycetes. Most species are known in their yeast states which produce orange to red colonies when grown on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA). The colour is the result of carotenoid pigments that the yeast creates to block out certain wavelengths of light (620–750 nm) that would otherwise be damaging to the cell. Hyphal states, formerly placed in the genus Rhodosporidium, give rise to teliospores from which laterally septate basidia emerge, producing sessile basidiospores. Species occur worldwide and can be isolated from air, water, soil, and other substrates.
