Saturnispora galanensis sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rotting wood Huang, Lin-Na and Xi, Zhi-Wen and Zhai, Yi-Chang and Chai, Chun-Yue and Hui, Feng-Li,, 69, 2658-2661 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003501, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, 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 Saturnispora. It differed from its closest known species, Saturnispora sekii CBS 10931T, by 1.3 % nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domains and by 2.2 % nucleotide substitutions in the ITS regions, respectively. In contrast to Saturnispora sekii, the novel yeast species was unable to assimilate glycerol, dl-lactate, succinate and citrate, and grow at 37 °C. The name Saturnispora galanensis sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these strains, with NYNU 1797 as the holotype., language=, type=
