Species-specific extracellular antigen production by ascomycetous yeasts, detected by ELISA.

The molecular phylogeny of the Ascomycetous anamorphic yeast genus Arxula van der Walt, Smith et Yamada based on the partial sequences of 18S and 26S ribosomal ribonucleic acids.

“…The assimilation characters are in agreement with those of St. ciferrii (9,10). The extracellular polysaccharide enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay pointed out that St. ciferrii is related to the two species, T, terrestre (and T. adeninivorans) (7,9). The present study has demonstrated that the anamorphic and teleomorphic species are phylogenetically related to each other.…”
