gen. & comb. nov., the first yeast-like fungus in Leotiomycetes No Access

Abstract

is a pink yeast-like fungus that is not congeneric with other members of (Basidiomycota, Microbotryomycetes, Sporidiobolales). During our ongoing studies of pink yeasts we determined that was most closely related to (Ascomycota, Leotiomycetes, Thelebolales). A molecular phylogenetic analysis using sequences of the ITS region and the small and large subunit (SSU, LSU) rRNA genes, indicated that four isolates of , including three ex-type isolates, were placed in Thelebolales with maximum support. A new genus is proposed to accommodate , . This is the first pink yeast reported in Leotiomycetes.
