Metschnikowia viticola sp. nov., a new yeast species from grape

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2005 Feb;87(2):155-60. doi: 10.1007/s10482-004-2842-6.

Abstract

Two yeast strains, producing needle-shaped ascospores under suitable conditions, were isolated from grapes grown in Hungary. Based on these two strains, Metschnikowia viticola (type strain NCAIM Y.01705, CBS 9950, JCM 12561) is proposed as a new yeast species. Considering its phenotypic features, the restriction fragment patterns of 18S rDNA and the sequence of the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, the proposed new species is closely related to Candida kofuensis.
