Abstract
Karyotypes of different morphological forms of oval cell types of Mala ssezia furfur (previously called Pityrosporum ovale) were examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. All strains produced patterns contai ning seven chromosome bands. These patterns could be separated into th ree distinct groups, which appeared to correlate with groups based on morphology.
