Lipomyces chichibuensis sp. nov., isolated in Japan, and reidentification of the type strains of Lipomyces kononenkoae and Lipomyces spencermartinsiae Yamazaki, Atsushi and Kawasaki, Hiroko,, 64, 2566-2572 (2014), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.059972-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= We isolated two strains of a novel Lipomyces species from soil collected in Chichibu forest, Saitama prefecture, Japan. Based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics, along with multilocus sequence typing using the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit (LSU) rRNA gene, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the translation elongation factor 1 alpha gene (EF-1α), the two strains were shown to represent a novel species of the genus Lipomyces, described as Lipomyces chichibuensis sp. nov. (type strain CB08-2T = NBRC 109582T = CBS 12929T; Mycobank no. MB808164). In addition, we reidentified the type strains of Lipomyces kononenkoae and Lipomyces spencermartinsiae maintained in culture collections based on phenotypic characters and/or DNA–DNA hybridization to ensure correct future identification of species of the genus Lipomyces. The correct type strains of L. kononenkoae and L. spencermartinsiae are NBRC 107661T ( = CBS 2514T) and NBRC 10376T ( = CBS 5608T), respectively., language=, type=
