Candida Berkhout

Note: DNA hybridization and electrokaryotype study of some Candida species

“…Our values were somewhat lower than the values determined previously by the thermal denaturation method (Barnett et al, 1990;Meyer et al, 1984;Meyer & Phaff, 1972). In group 111, Candida sp., the DNA base composition of the two strains was 34-4 and 36.7 mol YO, respectively.…”

“…Candida viswanathii and Candida lodderae could only be discriminated by fermentation of sucrose and growth at 40 "C, but other taxonomic criteria, including phenotypic characteristics (Meyer et al, 1984) and DNA base composition (Meyer & Phaff, 1972;Nakase & Komagata, 1971) were very similar. It is therefore necessary to clarify the relations hip between these species using other reliable methods.…”

Candida floccosa sp. nov., a novel methanol-assimilating yeast species

“…Ogataea, Kuraishia (Yamada et al, 1994) and Komagataella (Yamada et al, 1995). The methylotrophic yeast species with unknown sexual reproduction are also of ascomycetous affinity and are currently assigned to the heterogeneous genus Candida (Meyer et al, 1998). In the present paper, we report on the isolation of three methylotrophic yeast strains from fluxes of oak trees of different geographical locations that share similar phenotypic and genotypic characters but differ from all hitherto described yeast species.…”

Candida materiae sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rotting wood in the Atlantic Rain Forest

“…nov. based on the ability to ferment D-xylose and the production of ascospores by the former species (Nguyen et al, 2006). C. insectamans was negative for assimilation of galactose and sucrose (Meyer et al, 1998), whereas the other species of the Spathaspora clade are able to use these sugar sources. Isolates of C. materiae sp.…”
