Phylogenetic analyses employing combined sequences of the D1/D2 domain and ITS region support the recognition of two new species: Zygotorulaspora chibaensis sp. nov. (type strain PYCC 6970T=CBS 15364T) and Zygotorulaspora danielsina sp. nov. (type strain PYCC 6984T=CBS 15365T). Both species are able to grow on d-xylose and l-arabinose and at 35 °C, unlike Zygotorulaspora florentina and Zygotorulaspora mrakii, the other two species in the genus., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002889
