Candida cellulosicola sp. nov., a xylose-utilizing anamorphic yeast from rotten wood Guo, Xinyan and Zhu, Hongkun and Bai, Feng-Yan,, 62, 242-245 (2012), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.031351-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Two xylose-utilizing yeast strains isolated from rotten wood collected in the rainforest in different mountains of Hainan province, southern China, were studied. Sequence analysis of the large subunit rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer region revealed that the strains represent a novel anamorphic yeast species, for which the name Candida cellulosicola sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is HNX16-2T ( = CGMCC 2.3503T = CBS 11952T). Phylogenetically, the novel species was closely related to a xylose-utilizing teleomorphic ascomycetous yeast species Spencermartinsiella europaea in the family Trichomonascaceae, but differed from the latter by 3.0 % mismatches in the D1/D2 domain., language=, type=
