Analysis of Phylogenetic Relationships Among Twelve Yeast Species.
Partial sequences of 25 S ribosomal DNA for nine Candida yeast and one Kluyveromyces yeast strains were cloned and determined. We compared them with two published 25 S rDNA sequences of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. An evolutionary tree of the twelve species was inferred from about 370 sites of 5' end of 25 S ribosomal DNA using the methods of neighbor-joining and bootstrap. The molecular data indicate a very close affinity between Candida kefyr CBS834 and Kluyveromyces cicerisporus CBS4857.
