Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) analysis with restriction enzymes, Hae III, Hind III and Msp I was performed in 17Exophiala moniliae strains. The results were as follows: (1)E. moniliae could be classified into 10 types based on restriction patterns, (2)E. moniliae is suggested to be a complex organism because of extensive mtDNA polymorphism among strains likeE. jeanselmei and (3) two types ofE. moniliae are identical with two types ofE. jeanselmei. These results suggest thatE. moniliae is not genetically defined fromE. jeanselmei and the taxonomical status ofE. moniliae requires reevaluation
