The strains were isolated from bark, fluxes and the ectomycorrhizospheric soil fraction of Nothofagus antarctica, Nothofagus nervosa and Nothofagus pumilio. Analysis of the D1/D2 large-subunit rDNA sequences indicated that the novel species belonged to the genus Lachancea and is closely related to Lachancea meyersii. The name Lachancea nothofagi sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these strains. The type strain is UWOPS 99-807.3T (=CBS 11611T=NRRL Y-48670T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.018929-0
