Twenty strains were identified as strains belonging to the following seven species of four genera: Three strains of Debaryomyces hansenii, one of Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus, two of Candida diddensii, one of C. krissii nov. sp., five of Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis, five of Rh. rubra, and three of Rh. marina.
