Three new species of the genus (Cuniculitremaceae, Tremellales) from the phylloplane in China.

, in the family Cuniculitremaceae of the order , is a globally distributed genus of blastoconidia-forming fungi. Currently, 23 species have been described and accepted as members of the genus. In this study, five yeast strains were isolated from plant leaf surfaces collected in the Fujian and Guizhou Provinces of China and identified through a combination of morphological and molecular methods.

is a well-known genus of the family Wickerhamomycetaceae in the class Ascomycetes. These fungi can survive in a variety of substrates and environments and perform many valuable roles in both industrial processes and the natural ecosystems. During our investigation of yeast diversity associated with plant materials, 53 isolates were obtained from rotting wood and plant leaves collected in Fujian, Guizhou, Henan, and Yunnan Provinces of China.

Two new species inhabiting the phyllosphere discovered in the Baotianman Nature Reserve in China.

The genus is kind of species-scarce and undersampling basidiomycetes. Currently, only six species have been accepted into the genus and the diversity still remains incompletely understood. In this study, five strains were isolated in the surface of plant leaves collected from the Baotianman Nature Reserve, Henan Province, central China.

Two new phyllospheric species of (Colacogloeaceae, Pucciniomycotina) identified in China.

During our ongoing survey of basidiomycetous yeasts associated with plant leaves in virgin forest, five strains were isolated in the Baotianman Nature Reserve, Henan Province, central China. Phenotypes from cultures and a phylogeny based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene were employed to characterize and identify these isolates. As a result, two new species, namely and , are introduced herein.

 f.a., sp. nov., f.a., sp. nov. and f.a., sp. nov., three new yeast species of (Saccharomycetales, Debaryomycetacae) from China.

includes a growing number of interesting yeasts of the family Debaryomycetacae that are widely distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions of different continents. During recent yeast collections in Henan and Yunnan Province in China, several isolates of were obtained from rotting wood, all of which represent undescribed taxa. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses (ITS and LSU rDNA), three new species are proposed: f.

Four new species of Trichomonascaceae (Saccharomycetales, Saccharomycetes) from Central China.

Trichomonascaceae is the largest family of ascomycetous yeast in the order Saccharomycetales. In spite of the extensive body of research on Trichomonascaceae in China, there remain new species to be discovered. Here, we describe four new species isolated from several rotting wood samples from Henan Province, Central China.

Diversity of the genus and description of two new species from rotting wood in China.

Species of the genus (Trichomonascaceae, Saccharomycetales), found in rotting wood in China, were investigated using morphology and the molecular phylogeny of a combined ITS and nrLSU dataset. Nine taxa were collected in China: two were new species (viz. and ) and seven were known species, , , , , , and .

Five new additions to the genus (Saccharomycetales, Debaryomycetaceae) from southwest China.

is an important genus of d-xylose-fermenting yeasts that are poorly studied in China. During recent yeast collections in Yunnan Province in China, 13 isolates of were obtained from rotting wood and all represent undescribed taxa. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses (ITS and nuc 28S), five new species are proposed: , , , and .

sp. nov. a new member of the Cystofilobasidiales from soil in China, and description of the teleomorphic-stage of .

In a study on the fungal diversity in Northeast China, twelve yeast isolates were obtained from soils collected in three provinces, Helongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. Morphological assessment and phylogenetic analyses of the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domains of the nuc 28S rDNA (nuc 28S) gene of the 12 cultures placed them in the genus , namely , , , and . A total of three isolates represented a hitherto undescribed species, which is described here as (MB 834813).

Three new species associated with insects and rotting wood in China.

Three species of were identified during a diversity study of yeasts. All three are associated with insects and rotting wood in China. Phylogenetic analyses of a genomic dataset combining ITS and nrLSU revealed that these new collections are distinct from known species, thus three new species are introduced i.

sp. nov. and f.a., sp. nov., two novel yeast species associated with insects and rotting wood.

Five yeast strains were isolated from the gut of the groundbeetle and rotting wood, which were collected from two different localities in China. These strains were identified as representing two novel species of the genus through comparison of sequences in the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene and other taxonomic characteristics. sp.

f.a., sp. nov., a new yeast species isolated from the gut of the rhinoceros beetle .

Four strains, NYNU 15610, NYNU 15612, NYNU 15613 and NYNU 15615, of a novel ascomycetous yeast were isolated from the gut of (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) collected from two different localities in Henan Province, Central PR China. The four strains shared identical sequences in both of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer regions. Sequence analyses revealed that this novel species represents a member of the genus .

sp. nov. and sp. nov., two yeast species in the / clade.

During studies on the yeast communities associated with rotting wood in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest in PR China, four novel yeast strains were found. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene and the ITS regions showed that these strains represented two novel species in the / clade. The novel species, represented by strains NYNU 17948 and NYNU 17981, formed a clade with and , with 1-1.

sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rotting wood.

Three strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from rotting wood in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest, Yunnan Province, PR China. Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions showed that the novel species represents a member of the genus . It differed from its closest known species, CBS 10931, by 1.

Wickerhamomyces menglaensis f.a., sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rotten wood.

Five strains, NUNU 16637, NYNU 16645, NYNU 1673, NYNU 1680 and NYNU 1689, of a novel ascomycetous yeast were isolated from the Xishuangbanna tropical rainforest, Yunnan Province, PR China. The five strains shared identical sequences in both of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Sequence analysis showed that they represent undescribed yeast species belonging to the genus Wickerhamomyces.
