C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. lusitaniae, C. famata (D. hansenii), C. rugosa, and C. dubliniensis form part of the Candida CTG clade and translate CTG codons as serine instead of leucine. In contrast, C. glabrata and C. kefyr (K. marxianus) belong to the Saccharomycetaceae, with C. glabrata and S. cerevisiae falling within the “whole genome duplication” (WGD) clade. The remaining species C. krusei (I. orientalis), C. inconspicua, and C. norvegensis are probably closely related in the Saccharomycetaceae clade. The branch lengths are arbitrary.
