Note：
The variety flareri can be physiologically distinguished from the variety famata only by maximum growth temperature. The maximum growth temperature of the variety flareri is 35-37°C, whereas that of the variety famata is 29-31°C. Telemorph of variety famata was Debaryomyces hansenii (Zopf) Lodder & Kreger. var. hansenii (1952). Telemorph 5of variety flareri was Debaryomyces hansenii (Zopf) Lodder & Kreger. var. fabryi (1952).
