Kluyveromyces is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae.^[2] Some of the species, such as K. marxianus, are the teleomorphs of Candida species.

The genus name of Kluyveromyces is in honour of Albert Jan Kluyver ForMemRS (1888-1956), who was a Dutch microbiologist and biochemist.^[3]

The genus was circumscribed by Johannes P. Van der Walt in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek vol.22 on pages 268–271 in 1956.

Mating and sporulation in Kluyveromyces are co-induced by poor environments and most often occur in succession without intervening diploid mitotic cell divisions.^[4]

A RAD52 gene homolog from Kluyveromyces lactis was cloned and characterized.^[5] This gene, which has a central role in recombinational repair of DNA, can complement S. cerevisiae rad52 mutants.^[5]
