Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 26S D1/D2 rDNA locus showed that L. mirantina sp. nov. was genetically related to Lachancea cidri and Lachancea fermentati, although some physiological traits showed remarkable differences. Analysis of the D1/D2 large-subunit rDNA molecular marker showed a clear distinction among all three species, confirming that L. mirantina sp. nov. belongs to a separate taxonomic species in the Lachancea clade. The type strain of Lachancea mirantina sp. nov. is URM 5925T ( = CLIB 1160T  = CBS 11717T)., language=, type=
