Phylogenetics, Biogeography, and Ecology of Methylotrophic Yeasts of the Heterogeneous Genus Ogataea: Achivements and Prospects

Abstract

Analysis of the literature and GenBank data showed that the genus Ogataea is heterogeneous and includes at least five non-described genera. Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the present genus Ogataea may be conducted only based on multigene analysis of all the known species. Possibilities of molecular species identification in biogeographical and ecological studies of yeasts are discussed.
