Of 13 clinical isolates of Candida lusitaniae from diverse geographical regions, 7 represented the mating types (6 alpha, 1 a) of the ascomycete Clavispora lusitaniae. Selected nonfertile isolates showed significant DNA relatedness (greater than 90%) to representatives of both mating types. Phenotypic physiological characteristics, such as cellobiose fermentation and rhamnose assimilation, proved insufficient for separation of Clavispora lusitaniae and Clavispora opuntiae.
在来自不同地理区域的13株葡萄牙念珠菌临床分离株中，7株代表了子囊菌葡萄牙棒孢酵母的交配型（6株α型，1株a型）。选定的不育分离株与两种交配型的代表菌株显示出显著的DNA相关性（大于90%）。结果表明，诸如纤维二糖发酵和鼠李糖同化等表型生理特征不足以区分葡萄牙棒孢酵母和仙人掌棒孢酵母。
