Cyberlindnera maclurae is a yeast-like fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It has been isolated from soil and plant samples in East and Central Texas, where it appears to be associated with the roots of certain plant species, including Maclura pomifera (Osage orange). The fungus has been found to produce bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial and antifungal properties. In Texas, C. maclurae has been detected in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas, suggesting a wide distribution and ecological range in the region.
