Abundant taxa with no close identified hits were selected for further characterization as potential novel species of yeasts. Phylogenetic analyses using sequences of the D1/D2 domain, the ITS region and RPB1 and TEF1 genes support the recognition of the following three novel species belonging to the subphylum Pucciniomycotina, class Microbotryomycetes: Leucosporidium krtinense f.a. sp. nov. (type strain PYCC 6879T=KT96T=CBS 14304T=DSM 101892T), Yurkovia mendeliana sp. nov. (type strain PYCC 6884T=KT152T=CBS 14273T=DSM 101889T) and Libkindia masarykiana sp. nov. (type strain PYCC 6886T=KT310T=CBS 14275T=DSM 101891T). Since the latter two novel taxa cannot be assigned to existing genera, two new genera, Libkindia gen. nov. and Yurkovia gen. nov., are also described.", }
