Two fungal strains of the genus Sporothrix , isolated from industrial waste water, were characterized with respect to some morphological and physiological properties. After comparison with other species of the genus Sporothrix , the fungal strains are described as Sporothrix nivea , n. sp. Among 28 carbon sources tested, such as sugars, polysaccharides, alcohols, organic acids, and hydrocarbons, 23 are utilized. The most remarkable property of Sporothrix nivea is the utilization of both n ‐alkanes and methanol.
