Leucosporidium drummii sp. nov., a member of the Microbotryomycetes isolated from soil Yurkov, A. M. and Schäfer, A. M. and Begerow, D.,, 62, 728-734 (2012), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.027102-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Two strains of a novel teleomorphic basidiomycete were isolated from grassland soil. Standard phenotypic tests and phylogenetic analyses of 26S rRNA gene (D1/D2 domains) and ITS region sequences showed that the species belongs to the core group of the genus Leucosporidium. A novel species, Leucosporidium drummii sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate the two strains, with SEG-3-2-AY220T ( = CBS 11562T = MUCL 52878T) as the type strain. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed great genetic variability in the Leucosporidium scottii complex., language=, type=
