Sporobolomyces koalae sp. nov., a basidiomycetous yeast isolated from nasal smears of Queensland koalas kept in a Japanese zoological park Satoh, Kazuo and Makimura, Koichi,, 58, 2983-2986 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.2008/000307-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Three strains (JCM 15063T, JCM 15098 and JCM 15099) of a novel basidiomycetous yeast species belonging to the genus Sporobolomyces were isolated from nasal smears of Queensland koalas kept in a Japanese zoological park. Analyses of sequences of the nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer region and the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain and morphological studies indicated that these strains represent a novel species with a close phylogenetic relationship to Sporobolomyces carnicolor and Sporobolomyces japonicus in the Sporidiobolus lineage, for which the name Sporobolomyces koalae sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JCM 15063T =CBS 10914T =DSM 19992T)., language=, type=
