Candida shehatae--genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships with other xylose-fermenting yeasts.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - 1 May 1990

Abstract excerpt

The xylose-fermenting yeasts Candida shehatae and Pichia stipitis were compared from extent of nuclear DNA complementarity and ribosomal RNA sequence similarity. Low levels of DNA relatedness confirmed that the two taxa are distinct biological species, but the similarity of rRNA sequences suggest...
