Abstract

Four yeast isolates with an affinity to the genus were obtained from beach sand, a marine zoanthid and a tree exudate at different localities in Brazil. Two other isolates with almost identical ITS and D1/D2 sequences of the large subunit rRNA gene were isolated from the small intestine of cattle and a grease trap in Thailand. These isolates represent a novel species phylogenetically related to , , , and . The novel species differs by 15–30 nucleotide differences from these species in the D1/D2 sequences. The name f.a., sp. nov. is proposed. The holotype of sp. nov. is CBS 16104. The MycoBank number is MB 839328.
