Abstract

Two strains (NT29 and NT31) of xylose-assimilating yeasts were obtained from soils collected in northern Thailand. On the basis of morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer region, the two strains were found to represent two novel ascomycete yeast species. Strain NT29 was assigned to the genus belonging to the clade as a representative of sp. nov.; the type strain is NT29 ( = BCC 47634 = NBRC 108868 = CBS 12319). Strain NT31 represented a novel species, which was named sp. nov.; the type strain is NT31 ( = BCC 47635 = NBRC 108869 = CBS 12320).
