Abstract

Two isolates representing a new species of were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in an Amazonian forest ecosystem in Brazil. Analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains showed that this new species is phylogenetically related to NYMU 15730, a species without a formal description, and the two are in an early emerging position with respect to the xylose-fermenting subclade containing and . Phylogenomic analyses using 474 orthologous genes placed the new species in an intermediary position between species and the larger genus and the / clade. The novel species, f.a., sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these isolates. The type strain of sp. nov. is UFMG-CM-Y427 (=CBS 14217). The MycoBank number is MB 824093. In addition, we studied the xylose metabolism of this new species.
