The analysis of sixteen Komagataea (Williopsis) pratensis from the Caucasian and Tien Shan soils by the PCR, blot hybridization, and isoenzyme electrophoresis techniques showed that fifteen of them do belong to the species K. pratensis. The isolates from the two geographic areas differed in some physiological characteristics and in the PCR product profiles obtained with the microsatellite primers (CAC)5 and (GACA)4.

Fifty-three strains of saturn-spored yeasts were analyzed by means of restriction analysis of the amplified fragment of rDNA which comprised the 5.8S rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2. The use of endonucleases HaeIII and MspI enabled clear differentiation of yeast species Williopsis mucosa, W.

We used polymerase chain reaction with universal and microsatellite primers, and molecular karyotyping to evaluate the extent of divergence between the genomes of the yeasts currently assigned to the heterogeneous genus Williopsis. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNAs indicates that Zygowilliopsis californica, Komagataea pratensis, Williopsis mucosa, Williopsis salicorniae species and Williopsis sensu stricto complex have clearly different karyotypes. In contrast, the latter six species, Williopsis saturnus, W.

The partial base sequences of 18S and 26S rRNAs of strains of Williopsis and Saturnospora species were analyzed. In the three regions partially sequenced, the higher base differences were observed in the strains examined of the three species, W. californica, W.
