The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, and the chemotaxonomic data of Rhodosporidium infirmominiatum strains indicate a close relationship to the strains of the genus Cystofilobasidium in the Filobasidiaceae. Therefore, Rhodosporidium infirmominiatum is reclassified in the chemotaxonomically defined genus Cystofilobasidium, as Cystofilobasidium infirmominiatum (Fell, Hunter et Tallman) Hamamoto, Sugiyama et Komagata comb. nov. which includes its anamorph taxa. Interrelations among Rhodosporidium, Rhodotorula, Cystofilobasidium, Mrakia, and Leucosporidium are discussed.Recently, there have been many polyphasic investigations from morphology to chemotaxonomy regarding the genera Rhodosporidium, Rhodotorula, and Cystofilobasidium (1-5). As a result, it becomes clear that Rhodosporidium infirmominiatum is different from other species of the genus Rhodosporidium and similar to the species of the genus Cystofilobasidium in its morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics.In this paper, we present the DNA-DNA hybridization between Rhodosporidium infirmominiatum and the strains of the genus Cystofilobasidium to clarify relationships among them, and propose that Rhodosporidium infirmominiatum be transferred to the genus Cyst ofilobasidium. And we discuss the interrelations among the genera Rhodosporidium, Rhodotorula, Cystofilobasidium, Mrakia, and Leucosporidium.
