Experimental data on genetic molecular classification and identification of the yeast genus Zygow illiopsis are summarized. The genus is represented by at least five biological species and three varieties of Z. californica: var. californica, var. dimennae, and var. fukushimae. Biogeography, ecology and killer activity of Z. californica yeasts is considered. Heterogeneity of the taxonomic genus Barnettozyma and the necessity for its revision are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
