| Abstract |
A Japanese clinical isolate (KU-A-0094) which was identified by de Hoog et al. as Exophiala jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni with difficulty, was compared with 5 strains including the type cultures of E. jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni, var. jeanselmei and E. castellanii using RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) patterns of mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). RFLP patterns of KUA-0094 were identical with those of E. jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni and different from those of E. castellanii with restriction enzymes of HaeIII, MspI and hindIII. Therefore, de Hoog et al.'s identification of KU-A-0094 was confirmed. Additionally, mtDNA-RFLP patterns of E. jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni and E. jeanselmei var. jeanselmei were also different from each other. Consequently E. jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni seem to be a species in its own right rather than a variant of E. jeanselmei.
