  • Title: Nutritional physiology of type isolates of currently accepted species of Exophiala and Phaeococcomyces.
    Author: de Hoog GS, Gerritis van den Ende AH, Uijthof JM, Untereiner WA.
    Journal: Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek; 1995 Jul; 68(1):43-9. PubMed ID: 8526480.
    Abstract:
    Nutritional physiological and tolerance tests were performed for all type strains of species currently classified in the black yeast genera Exophiala and Phaeococcomyces, including some additional type strains of taxa recently reidentified as Exophiala species. Most described Exophiala species can be distinguished by physiological characters. Exophiala jeanselmei with its varieties, and E. castellanii should all be retained as separate taxa. The pairs of strains Mycotorula schawii/Exophiala dermatitidis, Hormodendrum negronii/Exophiala jeanselmei var. lecaniicorni and Sporotrichum gougerotii/Torulabergeri were found to be conspecific. Phenetic analyses of physiological data support the identity of Phaeococcomyces exophialae as a yeast-like synanamorph of Exophiala spinifera. The taxonomic positions of the genera Nadsoniella, Phaeoannellomyces and Wangiella are discussed. The genera Exophiala and Phaeococcomyces are unrelated.
