FIG. 3.

Dendrogram, created by using GelCompar, showing relationships between G. candidum strains. The percent similarity scale indicates the coefficients of similarity between strains calculated from the concatenated gels by the unweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages. G. fragrans strains are indicated. The results for assimilation of dl-lactate and d-mannitol as sole sources of carbon are shown to the right of the strain designations. −, negative; (+), weakly positive; +, positive; ++, strongly positive.
