sp. nov., a novel yeast species from the gut of larvae Free

Abstract

A novel yeast species is described based on three strains from the gut of wood-boring larvae collected in a tree trunk of cultivated in parks near Nanyang, central China. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene showed that these strains occurred in a separate clade that was genetically distinct from all known ascomycetous yeasts. In terms of pairwise sequence divergence, the novel strains differed by 15.3 % divergence from the type strain of , and by 15.8 % divergence from the type strains of and in the D1/D2 domains. All three are ascomycetous yeasts in the clade. Unlike . , . and . , the novel isolates did not ferment glucose. The name sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these highly divergent organisms, with STN-8 ( = CICC 1980 = CBS 12638) as the type strain.
