Thesis (MSc (Microbiology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / Intraspecific diversity among yeasts, including basidiomycetous yeasts has mostly
been studied from a taxonomic point of view. The heterobasidiomycetous genus Cryptococcus
is no exception and it was found to contain species that display heterogeneity both
on a genetic and physiological level, i.e. diversity among strains originating from different
geographical areas. It was stated that this diversity within yeast species is possibly caused
by intrinsic attributes of the different habitats the strains of a particular species originate
from. However, little is known about the diversity of a species within a specific habitat.
Thus, in this study intraspecific diversity among selected cryptoccoci isolated from a
single soil sample originating from pristine Fynbos vegetation , was investigated.
