Debaryomyces fabryi is an ascomycetous yeast placed within the family Debaryomycetaceae of the order Saccharomycetales For a long time it had been considered to be a variety of the cryo- and halotolerant species D. hansenii due to ambiguity of the pheno- and genotypic boundaries, but on the basis of different fingerprinting techniques and phylogenetic analyses of several protein encoding genes D. fabryi has been accepted as separate taxonomic entity. Debaryomyces hansenii can grow in media containing up to 4 M NaCl and has frequently been isolated from see water, cheese, meat, wine, beer, fruit and soil, while the origin of the majority of the D. fabryi isolates are the human skin infections.⁠ Differently from D. hansenii strains that are able to grow at 31-35 °C, the maximum growth temperature of D. fabryi strains is 36-39 °C . The recent studies indicated that the D. fabryi CBS 789 type strain is more resistant to oxidative stress and more sensitive to fluconasole than the D. hansenii CBS 767T. Less...
