A phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of LSU, SSU and EF-1α, and the three strains were found to belong to the genus Pichia. The morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics indicated that these strains were distinct from other closely related species. Strains 14Y260T, 14Y268 and 14Y276 belonged to the Pichia clade and represent a novel species, named Pichia chibodasensis sp. nov. ; The type strain is 14Y260T (=NBRC 111569T=InaCC Y1042T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001735
