AI Article Synopsis
- Two new yeast strains, 16Q1 and 16Q3, were discovered from Ruellia flowers and are genetically linked to the Candida haemulonii cluster but show significant nucleotide divergences from related species.
- The strains exhibit differences in 18 physiological tests compared to C. haemulonii and other related species, indicating distinct characteristics.
- Based on these findings, the strains have been classified as a new species, named Candida ruelliae sp. nov., with strain 16Q1 being designated as the type strain.
Article Abstract
Two novel yeast strains designated as 16Q1 and 16Q3 were isolated from flowers of the Ruellia species of the Acanthaceae family. The D1/D2 domain and ITS sequences of these two strains were identical. Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of large-subunit rRNA gene indicated their relationship to species of the Candida haemulonii cluster. However, they differ from C. haemulonii by 14% nucleotide sequence divergence, from Candida pseudohaemulonii by 16.1% and from C. haemulonii type II by 16.5%. These strains also differ in 18 physiological tests from the type strain of C. haemulonii, and 12 and 16 tests, respectively, from C. pseudohaemulonii and C. haemulonii type II. They also differ from C. haemulonii and other related species by more than 13% sequence divergence in the internal transcribed spacer region. In the SSU rRNA gene sequences, strain 16Q1 differs by 1.7% nucleotide divergence from C. haemulonii. Sporulation was not observed in pure or mixed cultures on several media examined. All these data support the assignment of these strains to a novel species; we have named them as Candida ruelliae sp. nov., and designate strain 16Q1(T)=MTCC 7739(T)=CBS10815(T) as type strain of the novel species.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing a MALDI-TOF MS database for the accurate identification of various species from a specific microorganism complex, overcoming previous misidentifications.
- It involved analyzing 71 isolates, creating a new database with 37 strains using a formic acid extraction method, and validating it with an additional 34 strains.
- The database successfully achieved 100% identification accuracy, showing that MALDI-TOF MS is a reliable tool for diagnosing infectious agents in clinical settings.

The lesser-known non- species are often overlooked and difficult to diagnose in most microbiology laboratories. , a relatively newly discovered species, is responsible for outbreaks in various geographical regions. Because of its increased resistance to antifungal drugs, is responsible for hard-to-treat infections and its pathogenicity is still incompletely elucidated.

A single strain of a novel ascomycetous yeast species belonging to the genus Candida was isolated from the external ear canal of an inpatient in a Japanese hospital. Analyses of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain, nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region sequences, and chemotaxonomic studies indicated that this strain represents a new species with a close phylogenetic relationship to Candida ruelliae and Candida haemulonii in the Metschnikowiaceae clade. This strain grew well at 40 degrees C, but showed slow and weak growth at 42 degrees C.
