Abstract

The sequence of the cytoplasmic 5S-rRNA from Trimorphomyces papilionaceus, a basidiomycetous yeast, was determined by the direct chemical method for sequencing RNA and compared to known 5S rRNA sequences of 19 basidiomycetous fuungi. There were 26 nucleotide differences between T. papilionaceus and Tremella mesenterica both of which belong to the Tremellaceae of the Tremellales. Based on Knuc values, the closest fungus was Tilletiaria anomala, another basidiomycetous yeast which belong to the Sporbolomycetaceae of the Sporobolomycetales. T. papilionaceus did not show any significant phylogenetic relationship with other fungi.
