A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Candida krusei was devised, based on sequencing of six gene fragments of the species. The existence of heterozygous results for each of the six fragments sequenced confirms that C. krusei is diploid for at least part of its genome. The C. krusei MLST scheme had a discriminatory index of 0.998, making this system ideal for strain typing of C. krusei clinical isolates. MLST data for 122 independent C. krusei isolates from a range of geographical sources were analyzed by eBURST, structure, and the unweighted-pair group method using average linkages to derive a population structure comprising four subtype strain clusters. There was no evidence of geographical associations with particular subtypes. Data for pairs of isolates from seven patients showed that each patient was colonized and/or infected with strain types that were indistinguishable by MLST. The C. krusei MLST database can be accessed online at http://pubmlst.org/ckrusei/.

Five pink-pigmented bacterial strains, isolated from human skin and classified within the genus , were examined. Among them, four were identified as , while strain OT10 was deemed to be a potential novel species. Strain OT10 exhibited characteristics, such as Gram-stain-negative, oxidase positive, motile, strictly aerobic and rod shaped.

Yeast strains representing a novel asexual ascomycetous species were isolated from seven flowers. Sequencing of the chromosomal regions coding for the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit ribosomal RNA, the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 segments and parts of the gene coding for the small subunit ribosomal RNA showed that the isolates were conspecific.

Three aerobic, pink-pigmented, Gram-negative, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated SD21, SI9 and SB2, were isolated from the phyllosphere of healthy litchis collected from three main producing sites of Guangdong Province, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that strains SD21 and SI9 belonged to the genus (.) with the highest similarity to DSM 19563 (98.
