“…Group 2 includes R. malvinellum, R. toruloides (I), and Leucosporidium scottii (I). These species lack xylose in the cells and have the ubiquinone system Q-9 (18)(19)(20). Seven strains of R. toruloides were divisable into two subgroups on the basis of the DNA base composition and ubiquinone systems.…”

“…This strain YK 304 differed from the strain YK 300 derived from the type strain of C. albidus var. albidus in their respective enzymes (16). On the other hand, B. alba YK 461 was similar to C. laurentii var.…”

“…These two strains also exhibited similar assimilation patterns of carbon compounds and potassium nitrate ( Table 2). C. macerans was thought to be a heterogeneous species on the basis of the electrophoretic patterns of its enzymes (16). Therefore, C. macerans seems to include strains which have lost the ability to discharge ballistospores, though no mating was observed between YK 485 and YK 331.…”

“…In previous papers the present authors reported that electrophoretic comparison of enzymes was a useful tool to clarify taxonomical relationships among strains of the genera Rhodotorula and Rhodosporidium (15), among strains of the genus Cryptococcus and related microorganisms (16), and between asporogenous yeasts and their supposed ascosporogenous states (17).…”

The patterns produced by nine enzymes of ballistosporogenous yeasts and supposedly related yeasts were studied by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Forty-two strains belonged to the genera Sporobolomyces, Sporidiobolus, Aessosporon and Bullera and twenty-four strains to Rhodotorula, Rhodosporidium, Cryptococcus, unidentified ballistosporogenous yeasts, and Candida edax. Four Sporobolomyces salmonicolor strains, two Sporobolomyces holsaticus strains, two Sporobolomyces odorus strains, five Sporidiobolus salmonicolor strains, two Aessosporon salmonicolor strains, and one strain of Aessosporon dendrophilum produced similar electrophoretic patterns. Moreover, mating was observed between some of these strains. Sporobolomyces roseus and Sporobolomyces shibatanus differed from Sporobolomyces salmonicolor in their glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49.), but the patterns of the other enzymes were similar; all three species differed clearly from Sporobolomyces singularis, Sporobolomyces gracilis, Sporobolomyces puniceus, and Sporobolomyces antarcticus. Sporobolomyces albo-rubescens showed a peculiar 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41.) pattern and was similar to two Rhodotorula rubra strains in the pattern of their enzymes. Close relationships were also seen between Sporidiobolus ruinenii and Rhodotorula graminis, and between Bullera alba and a strain in Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus in the electrophoretic patterns of their enzymes. Four unidentified strains which had lost the ability to produce ballistospores had patterns similar to those of Bullera alba, Rhodotorula glutinis, Cryptococcus laurentii var. flavescens, and Cryptococcus macerans. Three colorless strains, putatively derived from a strain of Sporobolomyces roseus, showed the same electrophoretic patterns as the strains from which they originated.

The genus Schizosaccharomyces comprises a small, somewhat heterogeneous group of yeast species which have in common a unique mode of vegetative reproduction by cross-wall formation without constriction as well as a certain degree of osmophilia, most strains having been isolated from habitats of high sugar concentration. This study evaluated inter- and intraspecific relationships utilizing nDNA/nDNA optical reassociation and by the analysis of physiological profiles of several strains of each species. Results demonstrate that the genus should be divided into three species: Schiz. japonicus, Schiz. octosporus and Schiz. pombe.
