Some Candida species which were similar to each other in phenotypic characteristics were studied by chemotaxonomic and molecular taxonomic comparison including the ubiquinone systems, electrophoretic karyotypes, DNA base composition and DNA relatedness. Candida viswanathii and Candida lodderae showed similar electrophoretic karyotypes and DNA base composition and demonstrated 89 to 91% DNA relatedness, confirming their synonymy.
