Saturnispora quitensis sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from the Maquipucuna cloud forest reserve in Ecuador James, Stephen A. and Cadet, Geneviève M. and Carvajal Barriga, Enrique Javier and Barahona, Patricia Portero and Cross, Kathryn and Bond, Christopher J. and Roberts, Ian N.,, 61, 3072-3076 (2011), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.030759-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A single strain, CLQCA-10-114T, representing a novel yeast species belonging to the genus Saturnispora was isolated from the fruit of an unidentified species of bramble (Rubus sp.), collected from the Maquipucuna cloud forest reserve, near Quito, in Ecuador. Sequence analyses of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region indicated that the novel species is most closely related to the recently described species Saturnispora gosingensis, isolated from the fruiting body of a mushroom collected in Taiwan, and Saturnispora hagleri, a Drosophila-associated yeast found in Brazil. The name Saturnispora quitensis sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate this strain; the type strain is CLQCA-10-114T ( = CBS 12184T = NCYC 3744T)., language=, type=
