| Abstract |
Three strains of a new xylanase-producing yeast species were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in the Atlantic Rain Forest of Brazil. The sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene showed that this novel yeast species belongs to the genus Spencermartinsiella, and its closest relatives among recognized species are Spencermartinsiella europaea and Spencermartinsiella ligniputridi. A novel species, named Spencermartinsiella silvicola sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these isolates. The type strain is UFMG-CM-Y274T ( = CBS 13490T). The MycoBank number is MB 813053. In addition, Candida cellulosicola is reassigned to the genus Spencermartinsiella as a new combination. |
