Sporobolomyces lactosus is a pink yeast-like fungus that’s not congeneric with different members of Sporobolomyces (Basidiomycota, Microbotryomycetes, Sporidiobolales). During our ongoing research of pink yeasts we decided that S. lactosus was most carefully associated to Pseudeurotium zonatum (Ascomycota, Leotiomycetes, Thelebolales). A molecular phylogenetic evaluation utilizing sequences of the ITS area and the small and enormous subunit (SSU, LSU) rRNA genes, indicated that… Continue reading
