f.a., sp. nov. a novel yeast species discovered in two mushroom species No Access

Abstract

Two yeast strains, designated as 19-39-3 and 19-40-2, obtained from the fruiting bodies of and collected in Yunwu Mountain Forest Park, PR China, have been identified as representing a novel asexual ascomycetous yeast species. From the results of phylogenetic analyses of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA, small subunit (SSU) rRNA and translation elongation factor 1-α () genes, it was determined that these strains represent a member of the genus with and as the closest relatives. The novel species exhibited 6.6 and 6.7% differences in the D1/D2 domains compared with and , respectively. Additionally, distinct biochemical and physiological differences were observed between the novel species and its related counterparts. No sexual reproduction was observed in these strains, leading to the proposal of the name f.a., sp. nov. for this newly discovered species.
