Over half of the volume is devoted to descriptions of the 678 currently recognised species, presented in a clear, easy to use layout and illustrated with over 1300 high quality photomicrographs. Readily usable keys and tables allow identification of all of the species described and a wealth of reference information broadens the scope of the book beyond identification. The book provides:

- 678 species descriptions, with the results of 99 physiological tests displayed at a glance

- Over 1300 high quality photomicrographs to accompany the descriptions, including 500 photomicrographs new to this edition

- Nine identification keys, based on clearly defined groups of yeasts

- Tables for identifying each species

- A summary of the characteristics of 93 yeast genera

- A list of nearly 4000 published yeast names, with provenances and synonyms
