FIG. 1.

One of four most parsimonious trees from MP analysis of the D1 and D2 26S rRNA gene sequences from species of the K. telluris clade. Tree length = 95, consistency index = 0.853, retention index = 0.956, rescaled consistency index = 0.815, homoplasy index = 0.147. Bootstrap values ≥50% are given above the branches; and branch lengths, indicated as the number of steps, are given below the branches. Naumovia castellii was the designated outgroup species. Strains are designated by NRRL accession numbers followed by GenBank accession numbers for strains with unique DNA sequences. T, type strain of the designated Kazachstania species; TA, type strain of the previously described Candida anamorph.
