Abstract

A yeast strain isolated from the air in Japan was found to represent a new species, and was named . This species produced arthroconidia and appressoria. formed a cluster with the appressorium-forming species and in a phylogenetic tree constructed using small-subunit rDNA sequences. However, they had low relatedness to each other in DNA–DNA hybridization experiments. is distinguished from both and by its ability to assimilate inulin, and its inability to assimilate L-rhamnose. JCM 8357 is the type strain of the species.
