This genus is a basidiomycetous yeast. See also the detailed description page for this genus.

All species accepted by CP Kurtzmann & JW Fell, The Yeasts, 4th Ed., Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, 1997, are listed.

Sporobolomyces alborubescens (obsolete)
This obsolete species is a synonym of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa
Sporobolomyces elongatus
Sporobolomyces falcatus
Sporobolomyces foliicola
Sporobolomyces gracilis
Sporobolomyces grisoflavus
Sporobolomyces holsaticus
Notes: This species is a bit confusing. The type strain (CBS 1522) is said by Kurtzmann & Fell to be an anamorphic strain of S. johnsonii. But it is also treated by K & F as synonym of S. johnsonii. Finally, K & F observe that most of the strains labeled S. holsaticus that they studied were able to mate with strains of S. salmonicolor.

Sporidiobolus johnsonii is a teleomorph of this species.

Sporobolomyces kluyveri-nielii
Sporobolomyces lacotophilus
Sporobolomyces odorus (obsolete)
This obsolete species is a synonym of Sporidiobolus salmonicolor

This obsolete species is a synonym of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa
