title: [Taxonomical investigations in sexual strains of Rhodotorula glutinis (Fres.) Harrison, Rh. aurantiaca (Saito) Lodder and Rh. rubra (Demme) Lodder (author's transl)].
abstract: Several strains of Rhodotorula were crossed with the strains IFO 0559a and IFO 0880alpha of Rhodotorula glutinis. We found nine new sexual Rhodotorula strains, belongong to the species Rh. glutinis, Rh. aurantiaca and Rh. rubra. 22 combinations, whose physiological and biochemical qualities were found out, followed from crossings of all sexual strains. The cell walls of some selected mycel combinations contained a pore in the center. Resting spores and life cycles of all combinations correspond to Rhodosporidium toruloides Banno. Results and taxonomical problems are being discussed.
