Six strains of two novel yeast species were isolated from sugar-cane juice and fermentation vats of cachaça production in Brazil. The sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that these species belong to the Wickerhamiella clade, and their closest described relative in terms of sequence similarity is Candida (iter. nom. Wickerhamiella) drosophilae. The type strain of Wickerhamiella cachassae sp. nov. is UFMG-D5L7T ( = CBS 12587T = CBMAI 1469T) and the type strain of Wickerhamiella dulcicola sp. nov. is UFMG-TOL15T ( = CBS 12588T = CBMAI 1468T).
