The molar percentage of guanine + cytosine (% GC) in the DNA from 25 yeast-like fungi related to the genus Geotrichum has been measured. This criterion together with the biochemical characteristics allow the division of the species into 3 groups: one group resembling G. candidum (% GC: 31.5--42) and
DNA base compositions of representative (type) strains of Moniliella, Trichosporonoides and Hyalodendron were determined. Within Trichosporonoides over 16% variance was found. Most species separated well, but M. suaveolens showed considerable heterogeneity. The standard 2% G + C differences for spec
