[The phylogenetic analysis of 15 Geotrichum strains based on 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 region sequencing].
The 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain sequences of 15 strains originally identified as Galactomyces geotrichum from the Chinese Industry Culture Collection (CICC) were determined. The results indicated that these strains differed from the type strain of Galactomyces geotrichum and other species of the genus remarkably. Two groups were recognized from the 15 strains which possibly represent 2 novel species of Galactomyces. Further molecular study is needed to confirm their taxonomic status.
