Abstract

Summary The species representing the yeast genus Kluyveromyces are arranged in a new phylogenetic scheme evolving from the mycelioid hybridizing “primitive” ancestors associated with various habitats, towards the unicellular non-hybridizing “evolved” taxa which are nutritionally restricted and hence probably more dependent on specific habitats. During this evolutionary process a reduction in phenotypic and genetic characteristics generally occurred while an increase in the number of small chromosomes was observed in the OFAGE karyotypes.
