Abstract

In the family Saccharomycetaceae, the genus Eremothecium Borzi emend. Kurtzman (1995) included the five species, which were on the whole characterized by the complex distribution of isoprenoid quinone homologues (Q-5, Q-6, Q-7 and Q-9) as well as of needle-shaped ascospore ornamentation. However, the calculated pair-wise sequence similarities among the five species were very low (94.7 - 96.5%) in the 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain sequences and so on. The experimental data obtained indicated that the emended genus was not taxonomic homogeneous- but heterogeneous-natured, showing that the five species should be accommodated to their own separate five genera as Eremothecium cymbalariae, Nematospora coryli, Ashbya gossypii, Crebrothecium ashbyi and Holleya sinecauda.
