Research Abstract

In this research, production of the rRNA database of yeasts and evaluation as a classification index of rRNA gene information were performed. Furthermore, molecular systematic analysis using a multiplex gene is conducted, and it tried to find out the new method and new concept for developing the classification f yeasts.
In many classification groups, those molecular information and analysis could be conducted simultaneously with discovery of a new microbe, and the rRNA gene information of many types of yeast was able to be collected. The open database of yeast molecular taxonomy was started to set up.
Based on the multiple gene analysis, it was founded that the substitution rate of the 18S rDNA is late compared with the substitution rate of the 26S rRNA D 1/D2 domain in all of the analyzed genera. There are a position which is rich in mutation, and a position which is not so in rRNA gene. It seemed that the parts of the rRNA gene could be properly used as identification in a genus level and species level. Interestingly the continuity in the homology of 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain within the same genus was shown, but the discontinuity of 18S rRNA gene were found. Especially the species of genus Pichia were devided to several phylogenetic groups.
We could summarize the molecular systematic of yeasts and proposed the new concepts of yeast classification.
