The Clade as a Model for Assessing Inhibition of spp. and the Toxicity of Its Metabolite, Pulcherrimin.

Candidiasis is one of the most frequent infections worldwide. In this study, the antimicrobial properties of six strains belonging to the clade were evaluated against twenty and -related var. (syn.

sp. nov., a black yeast related to fruit trees of the Rosaceae family.

Our previous studies focused on the diversity of yeasts related to the aboveground parts of fruit trees, as well as the soil adjacent to these trees, located in the south-west of Slovakia. During these studies, we isolated two strains: CCY 11-1-1 from the blossoms of a peach tree () and CCY 11-1-2 from the soil adjacent to a pear tree (), both found in the Malé Zálužie locality. The sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were identical in both strains.
