A1 Fontenla, S.YR 2010 T1 Lachancea nothofagi sp. nov., a yeast associated with Nothofagus species in Patagonia, Argentina JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 60 IS 9 SP 2247 OP 2250 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.018929-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Six strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from Nothofagus species trees in native forests in Patagonia, Argentina. 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)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.018929-0
