Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of the types or authentic strains of 20 facultative synonyms of Pichia membranifaciens (E.C. Hansen) E.C. Hansen was revealed on the basis of large-subunit (26S) rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer region sequencing and electrophoretic karyotyping. At least five separate species were recognized among the strains studied. Fourteen strains were confirmed to belong to P....
