M.YR 2005 T1 Taxonomy and phylogeny of the ascomycetous yeast genus Zygoascus, with proposal of Zygoascus meyerae sp. nov. and related anamorphic varieties JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 55 IS 3 SP 1353 OP 1363 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.63277-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Physiological characters, mating compatibility, PCR-RAPD fingerprints, mol% G+C content, DNA–DNA relatedness, and large-subunit and internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene sequences of strains assigned to the genus Zygoascus were re-examined. On the basis of those data, and after phylogenetic analyses, an emendation of Zygoascus hellenicus (type material is a cross of CBS 6736T×CBS 5839T) is proposed, comprising two novel anamorphic varieties, Candida steatolytica var. steatolytica (CBS 6736T) and C. steatolytica var. inositophila (CBS 5839T). A novel teleomorphic species, Zygoascus meyerae sp. nov. (type material is a cross of CBS 4099T×CBS 7521T) is described, together with two novel anamorphic varieties corresponding to it, Candida hellenica var. hellenica (CBS 4099T) and C. hellenica var. acidophila (CBS 7115T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63277-0
