High intragenomic, intergenomic, and phenotypic diversity in pulcherrimin-producing Metschnikowia yeasts indicates a special mode of genome evolution.

Abstract excerpt

In molecular systematics, the delimitation of yeast species is based on the notion that the barcode differences are smaller within species than between them. The most widely used barcodes are segments of the chromosomal repeats coding for ribosomal RNAs that are homogenised in yeasts. The analysis of these segments of the type strains of ten species recently merged in Metschnikowia pulcherrima and 37 new isolates...
