Abstract
Killer sensitivity patterns differ among phylogenetically diverse basi diomycetous yeasts. Taxonomic and phylogenetic applications and limita tions of this character are discussed. Yeast and hyphal phases of a si ngle organism may differ in sensitivity to killer toxins. The two vari eties of Cryptococcus neoformans can be differentiated using killer to xins of Cryptococcus laurentii.
