Abstract

Two strains of the genus Debaryomyces, that are phenotypically and genetically close to D. polymorphus, were isolated from South African soils. Nuclear DNA comparison studies established that the two strains reassociate with the type strain of D. polymorphus for 49-59%. The two strains have consequently been assigned to the new variety D. polymorphus var. africanus which is practically distinguished from D. polymorphus var. polymorphus by the utilization of L-rhamnose.
