Abstract
SUMMARY: Long-chain fatty acid compositions were determined for strains of seven species of Candida and their counterparts within the perfect genera: Candida shehatae and Pichia stipitis, Candida kefyr and Kluyveromyces marxianus, Candida lipolytica and Yarrowia lipolytica, Candida pelliculosa and Hansenula anomala, Candida pseudotropicalis and Kluyveromyces fragilis, Candida utilis and Hansenula jadinii, Candida parapsilosis and Lodderomyces elongisporus, Candida shehatae and Pichia stipitis. Close correlations were found between the fatty acid compositions of these pairs of strains, indicating that the analysis of long-chain fatty acids may be useful for studying the relationships between the perfect and imperfect states of the genus Candida.
