Abstract

Five strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in an Amazonian forest site in the state of Roraima, northern Brazil. The sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene showed that this species belongs to the clade and is related to , and . The novel species sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these isolates. The type strain of sp. nov. is UFMG-HMD-26.3 ( = CBS 12363 = NRRL Y-48762).
