Abstract

On the basis of nucleotide divergences in the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) domain of the rRNA gene, five novel yeast species, Wickerhamomyces chaumierensis sp. nov. (CBS 8565(T) = JCM 17246(T)), Candida pseudoflosculorum sp. nov. (CBS 8584(T) = JCM 17242(T)), Candida danieliae sp. nov. (CBS 8533(T) = JCM 17247(T)), Candida robnettiae sp. nov. (CBS 8580(T) = JCM 17243(T)) and Candida eppingiae sp. nov. (CBS 8586(T) = JCM 17241(T)), isolated from plants in Thailand and Guyana, are proposed in this study.
