Abstract

SUMMARY: Four methods of numerical analysis were tested to assess the taxonomic relationships of species of yeasts in 20 genera using characters obtained from standard descriptions. Relationships varied according to the analytical method employed. It is suggested that a reduction in the present number of genera may be necessary to justify the taxonomic rank of genus.
