Abstract

New yeasts from the Ross Desert (dry valley area) of Antarctica include sp. nov. and sp. nov. MYSW A801-3aY1 (= ATCC 56685) requires no vitamins, assimilates -arabinose, cellobiose, -glucuronate, maltose, melezitose, raffinose, soluble starch, sucrose, and trehalose, and may be distinguished from all other basidioblastomycetes by the combination of amylose production, cellobiose assimilation, and failure to utilize nitrate, -galactose, -inositol, and mannitol. Its guanine-plus-cytosine content is 56 mol%. MYSW A801-3aY92 (= ATCC 56686) requires thiamine, assimilates -arabinose, -glucuronate, 2-ketogluconate, salicin, succinate, sucrose, trehalose, and -xylose, and may be distinguished from all other basidioblastomycetes by the combination of amylose production and failure to utilize nitrate, cellobiose, -galactose, -inositol, and mannitol. Its guanine-plus-cytosine content is 56 mol%.
