title: Phylogeny of the yeast genera Hanseniaspora (anamorph Kloeckera), Dekkera (anamorph Brettanomyces), and Eeniella as inferred from partial 26S ribosomal DNA nucleotide sequences.
abstract: Partial 26S ribosomal DNA sequences of species assigned to the genera Hanseniaspora, Kloeckera, Dekkera, Brettanomyces, and Eeniella were determined. A phylogenetic analysis of the sequences showed that the genus Eeniella is derived within the genus Brettanomyces and that the genus Hanseniaspora (anamorph Kloeckera) is not closely related to the genus Dekkera (anamorph Brettanomyces). As a consequence, the name Eeniella is reduced to synonymy with the name Brettanomyces. In addition, our data do not support reassignment of certain Hanseniaspora species to the recently revived genus Kloeckeraspora.
