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.

Three novel Ascomycota (Saccharomycetes, Saccharomycetales) yeast species derived from the traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage Pulque.

The abundant variety of yeasts and their diverse applications have essential roles in traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage fermentation processes. During our investigation of yeast diversity associated with Pulque, 41 yeast strains were characterized. Among them, 31 strains were eight known species belonging to seven genera.

Three new species of (Cryptococcaceae, Tremellales) identified through phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses.

, belonging to the family Cryptococcaceae of the order Tremellales, is a genus of plant-inhabiting fungi distributed across the globe. Its members form associations with different plant parts, including flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, and twigs. Recent efforts have aimed to explore the diversity of in China, however, many geographical regions have not yet been explored.

Three new species (Bulleribasidiaceae, Tremellales) discovered in the phylloplane in China.

The genus is comprised of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeasts and is classified in the family Bulleribasidiaceae of the order Tremellales. Currently, 24 species have been described and accepted as members of the genus, although its diversity and global distribution have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, yeasts were isolated from plant leaves collected in the Guizhou and Henan Provinces of China and identified through a combination of morphological and molecular methods.

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).
