Abstract
Summary The relationship of seven Candida species and their corresponding ascogenous perfect states was studied by orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). The following pairs produced similar OFAGE-patterns: C. lipolytica and Yarrowia lipolytica, C. pelliculosa and Hansenula anomala, C. pseudotropicalis and Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marcianus, C. utilis and Hansenula jadinii and C. shetatae and Pichia stipitis . There was no apparent relationship between C. parapsilosis and Lodderomyces elongisporus as well as C. kefyr and Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus . The close correlation found between the OFAGE patterns of these yeasts indicate that electrophoretic karyotyping may be useful for studying relationships between perfect and imperfect yeasts.
