Abstract
C. laurentii and its varieties C. laurentii var. flavescens and C. laurentii var. magnus were compared using starch gel electrophoresis of 6 different enzymes. Enzyme patterns of sexually reactive C. laurentii cultures differed from nonmating strains and from the varieties magnus and flavescens. The variety magnus was composed of 2 distinct taxa. On the basis of these and other data, 2 new species [C. magnus comb. nov. (C. laurentii Kuff. Skinner var. magnus) and C. heveanensis comb. nov. (Torula heveanensis Groenewege)] were proposed. C. laurentii was compared with Tremella aurantia and T. encephala.
