“…The type strain of Bullera variabilis, which produces uniquely-shaped ballistospores (17), contained xylose in the cells. Exceptionally, in Bullera salicina (11) and Bullera tsugae (9), xylose was not detected by the HPLC method in this study.…”

The presence or absence of xylose in the whole cell hydrolysates from all type strains of 41 known species of the genera Bu//era, Sporidiobo/us, and Sporobolomyces, and three strains of Itersonilia perplexans was examined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) which makes it possible to analyze the carbohydrates without derivatization. Of 16 species of the genus Bu//era, 14 had xylose in the cells. The other two species, Bu//era salicina and Bu//era tsugae, had no xylose in the cells. None of the 25 species of the genera Sporidiobolus and Sporobolomyces had xylose in the cells. The lack of xylose in the cells of seven Sporobolomyces species with Q-9 as the major ubiquinone proves that these species are not yeast phases of certain species of the genus Itersonilia with Q-9, since both the yeast and filamentous phases of Itersonilia perplexans had xylose in the cells. These results show that the presence or absence of xylose in the cells is very useful as one criterion for the generic differentiation of Bu//era and Sporobolomyces. The lack of xylose in the cells of B. salicina and B. tsugae indicates that these two species may be closely related to the genus Sporobolomyces. Our HPLC method, by which xylose in the whole cell hydrolysates can be analyzed without derivatization, is a useful way to differentiate taxa by this criterion.Cellular carbohydrate composition provides useful taxonomic information at the level of genus or higher taxa of yeasts and yeast-like fungi (1-7).

“…The former is the type strain of B. variabilis and the latter is retained in this species because of its identical ITS region sequence with the former. In the present study, the remaining four B. variabilis strains used by Boekhout et al (1991) As mentioned previously, the heterogeneity of B. variabilis was first observed in the remarkable differences in electrophoretic patterns of enzymes among the strains originally assigned to this species (Nakase & Suzuki, 1987). However, it is difficult to clearly correlate enzyme pattern similarities with ITS region sequence similarities among these strains.…”

A strain of ballistosporous yeast, which was isolated from a dead leaf of Lindera obtusiloba collected at Mt. Fuji, was found to represent a new species. In traditional taxonomic criteria, it resembles Sporobolomyces subbrunneus and Sporobolomyces coprosmicola but showed low DNA relatedness to these two species. The name Sporobolomyces linderae is chosen for this yeast.During the survey on ballistosporous yeasts and yeast-like fungi living on leaves and stems of plants in Japan, 54 ballistosporous strains were isolated from 10 samples of plants collected at Mt. Fuji in 1986 and identified as nine species of yeasts and five species of yeast-like fungi belonging to five genera (9). Five species of yeasts out of nine represented hitherto undescribed species. Four new species, Ballistosporomyces ruber, Ballistosporomyces xanthus, Sporobolomyces yamatoanus and Bullera variabilis, were described for these yeasts (4,7,8). Later, Sp. yamatoanus was transferred to the genus Bensingtonia because of its major ubiquinone, Q-9 (3). The remaining one species is described in this paper as a new species in Sporobolomyces. MATERIALS AND METHODSStrain employed. The strain NB-214 used in the present study was isolated from a dead leaf of Lindera obtusiloba collected at Mt. Fuji by ballistospore-fall method using YM agar plate as described previously (5, 9).Investigation of taxonomic criteria. Most of the methods employed for the examination of morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics were
