Geotrichum bryndzae sp. nov., a novel asexual arthroconidial yeast species related to the genus Galactomyces Sulo, Pavol and Laurenčík, Michal and Poláková, Silvia and Minárik, Gabriel and Sláviková, Elena,, 59, 2370-2374 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.008938-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Ten strains of an asexual arthroconidial yeast species were isolated from Bryndza, a traditional Slovak artisanal sheep cheese, which was manufactured from raw milk during a 4-month summer production period at two Slovakian sites (the northern Ružomberok and the central-southern Tisovec areas). Sequence comparison of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene revealed that this yeast represents a novel species of the genus Geotrichum, which contains anamorphs of the ascogenous genus Galactomyces, for which the name Geotrichum bryndzae sp. nov. is proposed (type culture CCY 16-2-1T =NRRL Y-48450T =CBS 11176T). The novel species is most closely related to Geotrichum silvicola NRRL Y-27641T, although yeasts with identical or very similar sequences have been found throughout the world., language=, type=
