Among the clinical isolates hitherto identified as Geotrichum capitatum, two groups were defined from DNA-DNA reassociation experiments. This confirms the existence of two closely related, human-pathogenic Geotrichum species, namely, G. capitatum and G. clavatum. A third group of strains from cactus rots, though morphologically identical to G. capitatum, has a lower moles percent G + C of DNA. The three groups can be recognized by a combination of morphological and physiological characters.
在迄今鉴定为头状地霉的临床分离株中，通过DNA-DNA重缔合实验确定了两个组。这证实了两种密切相关的人类致病地霉物种的存在，即头状地霉和棒状地霉。来自仙人掌腐烂处的第三组菌株，虽然在形态上与头状地霉相同，但DNA的鸟嘌呤加胞嘧啶摩尔百分比更低。这三组可以通过形态和生理特征的组合来识别。
