Popis: The primary structure of the small ribosomal subunit RNA (srRNA) molecule of the type strains of the ascosporogenous yeasts Debaryomcyes hansenii, Pichia anomala (synonym: Hansenula anomala), Pichia membranaefaciens, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Dekkera bruxellensis was determined. The srRNA sequences were aligned with previously published sequences from fungi, including those of 5 candida species, and an evolutionary tree was inferred The srRNA results were compared with chemotaxonomic criteria, e.g. the coenzyme Q system. The heterogeneity of the genera Candida and Pichia is clearly reflected by the srRNA analysis.
