Christine Marie Berkhout

Christine Marie Berkhout (born July 13, 1893 in Malang , Netherlands Indies , † November 18, 1932 in The Hague , Netherlands ) was a Dutch mycologist and phytopathologist and student of Johanna Westerdijk . Its botanical abbreviation is Berkhout .

With her dissertation at the University of Utrecht in 1923, she established the genus Candida for nine species . Until then, these were included in the genus Monilia . According to Paul Guerra and Maurice Langeron , this started a “rational system of anascosporogenic yeasts ”. Your work was quoted by Langeron and his colleagues, but initially remained largely unknown, so that an endless list of synonyms emerged.

At the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS) in Baarn, today the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute , she worked with living fungal cultures . While working on her dissertation, her health began to deteriorate. After completing her doctorate, she did not take on any public position. She was the Westerdijk School's first female taxonomic mycologist.
