Abstract

The present classification of and its anamorph, , is based on various studies that used morphology, ecology, biochemistry, DNA–DNA reassociation comparisons and gene sequencing. In this study, the identities of strains of the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures yeast culture collection, as well as seven strains from South Africa, were examined by analyses of the nucleotide divergence in the internal transcribed spacer regions of the nuclear rRNA gene (nrRNA) operon, the D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene and partial actin gene sequences as well as compatibility studies. The South African strains were assigned to species in the genus The phylogenetic analyses and mating studies revealed that and are synonyms of and that is a synonym of
