AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers confirmed its distinctiveness from other strains and found additional isolates in Brazil linked to stingless bees, further supporting its classification.
- * Phylogenomic studies led to the proposal of a new name for the species, which will be recognized officially within scientific literature.
Article Abstract
, a single-strain species isolated from Mozambique sugar, has been treated a synonym of . Analyses of D1/D2 LSU rRNA gene sequences confirmed that the species belongs to the genus but showed it to be distinct from strains of . During studies of yeasts associated with stingless bees in Brazil, nine additional isolates of the species were obtained from unripe and ripe honey and pollen of cfr. , as well as ripe honey of . The D1/D2 sequences of the Brazilian isolates were identical to those of the type strain of CBS 5499 (=ATCC 22027), indicating that they represent the same species. Phylogenomic analyses using 4038 orthologous genes support the reinstatement of as a member of the genus . We, therefore, propose the name comb. nov. (lectotype ATCC 22027; MycoBank no. MB 833739).
