Abstract
The 18S rRNA gene sequence of the ascomycete yeast Lodderomyces elongisporus was determined by PCR-direct sequencing. The phylogenetic inter-relationship of Lodderomyces elongisporus and other ascomycete yeast species was examined by comparative sequence analysis. Lodderomyces elongisporus was found to be most closely related to Candida parapsilosis, C. tropicalis and C. albicans, exhibiting sequence similarity values of greater than 97.5%. The relationship between L. elongisporus and Candida parapsilosis in particular is discussed with regard to the possibility that L. elongisporus is the teleomorph (sexual form) of C. parapsilosis.Entities:
