R.YR 2007 T1 Rhodotorula subericola sp. nov., an anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast species isolated from bark of Quercus suber (cork oak) JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 57 IS 7 SP 1668 OP 1671 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64766-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Two yeasts strains, Y-31T and Y-20B, pertaining to a previously unknown yeast species were isolated from bark of cork oak in Spain. Physiological characterization revealed a pattern of assimilation of carbon and nitrogen compounds compatible with members of the genus Rhodotorula. From sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene, Rhodotorula cycloclastica and Rhodotorula philyla were related to the unknown species. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene showed that the novel species clustered in a branch together with R. cycloclastica. The name Rhodotorula subericola sp. nov. is proposed, with isolate Y-31T (=CECT 11976T=CBS 10442T) the type strain of this novel taxon in the Microbotryum lineage, subclass Microbotryomycetidae, class Urediniomycetes of basidiomycetous yeasts., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64766-0
