A cresol-assimilating yeast strain of a previously undescribed species belonging to the genus Rhodotorula was isolated from soil. The new strain differs from the previously described species of the genus in its pattern of assimilation of carbon and nitrogen compounds, G + C content, and low levels of DNA-DNA-homology. The new species Rhodotorula cresolica is described. The type strain is CBS 7998.

Most small genera containing yeast species in the Pucciniomycotina (Basidiomycota, Fungi) are monophyletic, whereas larger genera including Bensingtonia, Rhodosporidium, Rhodotorula, Sporidiobolus and Sporobolomyces are polyphyletic. With the implementation of the "One Fungus = One Name" nomenclatural principle these polyphyletic genera were revised. Nine genera, namely Bannoa, Cystobasidiopsis, Colacogloea, Kondoa, Erythrobasidium, Rhodotorula, Sporobolomyces, Sakaguchia and Sterigmatomyces, were emended to include anamorphic and teleomorphic species based on the results obtained by a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, phylogenetic network analyses, branch length-based methods, as well as morphological, physiological and biochemical comparisons.
