Summary

An amended diagnosis has been given for the genusPichia Hansen to allow inclusion of species characterized by a lack of pellicle formation, by the absence or a strongly reduced pseudomycelium or by a combination of both properties. The following species fit the amended diagnosis ofPichia: P haplophila Shifrine et Phaff,P. carsonii Phaff et Knapp,P. quercibus Phaff et Knapp andP. xylosa Phaff, Miller et Shifrine. Furthermore, it has been proposed to transferSaccharomyces pastori Guilliermond,Saccharomyces pini Holst andDebaryomyces vini Zimmermann to the amended genusPichia, where they fit well rather than occupying and exceptional position in their present genera.
