Abstract

Two yeast strains (TM2-16 and PT1-17) were isolated by membrane filtration from samples of estuarine water collected from two mangrove forests, in Khao Lumpee-Haad Thaimueang National Park and Mu Ko Ra-Ko Prathong National Park, Phang-Nga Province, Thailand. Analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit rDNA sequences revealed that the sequences of the two strains were identical. The closest species in terms of pairwise sequence similarity was , but the level of nucleotide substitutions (13.2 %) was sufficient to justify the description of a separate species. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the two strains occupy a basal position with respect to and . of the clade, supported by a high bootstrap value. The two strains showed identical phenotypic characteristics, including proliferation by multilateral budding, absence of ascospores and ballistoconidia and negative Diazonium blue B and urease reactions. The major ubiquinone was Q-9. On the basis of the above findings, these two strains were assigned to a single novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PT1-17 (=BCC 21231 =NBRC 101967 =CBS 10407).
