　Note： According to Fell and Statzell-Tallman (2000), they described Rhodotorula slooffiae was the synonym of R. minuta. But in the study of Fell et al. (2000), the rDNA LSU D1/D2 sequence of Rhodotorula slooffiae is different form R. minuta, they are separated species. Our sequence data of rDNA LSU D1/D2 sequence is the same with the sequence of Rhodotorula slooffiae in GenBank database.
