Habitat
S. kluyveri's habitat has not been as extensively characterized as that of yeast species such as S. cerevisiae or Candida albicans; only about 30 isolates have been described. However, the species appears to be wide spread in the environment. It has been isolated from Drosophila species in North America, soil in Europe, and various tree species in India and North America. Little data has been published on S. kluyveri's habitat since it was first described in 1956, but there is a report of S. kluyveri being isolated from the tissues of an HIV infected patient.

“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
