Abstract

Three strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from rotting wood in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest, Yunnan Province, PR China. Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions showed that the novel species represents a member of the genus . It differed from its closest known species, CBS 10931, by 1.3 % nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domains and by 2.2 % nucleotide substitutions in the ITS regions, respectively. In contrast to , the novel yeast species was unable to assimilate glycerol, -lactate, succinate and citrate, and grow at 37 °C. The name sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these strains, with NYNU 1797 as the holotype.
