Candida pseudocylindracea sp. nov. and Candida wuzhishanensis sp. nov. from Hainan Island, southern China
|
Abstract:
Strains X2WZ07-4 and G2WZ06-1 isolated from rotten wood collected from the tropical rainforests in Hainan Island were revealed to represent two new anamorphic, ascomycetous yeast species by molecular taxonomic characterization. Sequence analysis from the 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain showed that strains X2WZ07-4 and G2WZ06-1 were closely related with Candida cylindracea and C. llanquihuensis, respectively. The two strains differed from their closest described relatives by 2.5% to 3.9% mismatches, indicating that they represent two novel species. Since sexual states were not observed in the cultures of the two strains in various media, two anamorphic names Candida pseudocylindracea sp. nov. (type strain X2WZ07-4T = AS 2.3788T = CBS 10854T) and C. wuzhishanensis sp. nov. (type strain G2WZ06-1T = AS 2.3784T = CBS 10850T) are proposed for them, respectively.
