“…As mentioned in the results section, the Scheffersomyces clade, including all known taxa reported in the literature, is comprised of three subclades: 1) an early diverged subclade of S. spartinae, the only member that lacks the ability to ferment both xylose and cellobiose, and S. gosingicus, a cellobiose-fermenting (C-F) yeast isolated from soil in southeastern Asia [91]; 2) a C-F subclade that includes Scheffersomyces sp. UFMG-HMD-26.3 (not yet validly published [20]), S. coipomoensis, S. ergatensis, S. lignicola, and S. queiroziae ; and 3) the X-F subclade containing S. lignosus, S. illinoinensis, S. insectosa, S. quercinus, S. segobiensis, S. stipitis, S. shehatae , and S. virginianus (Fig.…”

Many of the known xylose-fermenting (X-F) yeasts are placed in the Scheffersomyces clade, a group of ascomycete yeasts that have been isolated from plant tissues and in association with lignicolous insects. We formally recognize fourteen species in this clade based on a maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis using a multilocus dataset. This clade is divided into three subclades, each of which exhibits the biochemical ability to ferment cellobiose or xylose. New combinations are made for seven species of Candida in the clade, and three X-F taxa associated with rotted hardwood are described: Scheffersomyces illinoinensis (type strain NRRL Y-48827 T = CBS 12624), Scheffersomyces quercinus (type strain NRRL Y-48825 T = CBS 12625), and Scheffersomyces virginianus (type strain NRRL Y-48822 T = CBS 12626). The new X-F species are distinctive based on their position in the multilocus phylogenetic analysis and biochemical and morphological characters. The molecular characterization of xylose reductase (XR) indicates that the regions surrounding the conserved domain contain mutations that may enhance the performance of the enzyme in X-F yeasts. The phylogenetic reconstruction using XYL1 or RPB1 was identical to the multilocus analysis, and these loci have potential for rapid identification of cryptic species in this clade.

Three strains of a d-xylose-fermenting yeast species were isolated from the host beetle Dorcus titanus collected from two different localities in Henan Province, Central China. These strains formed two hat-shaped ascospores in conjugated and deliquescent asci. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis that included the nearly complete small subunit (SSU), the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rDNAs, as well as RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1) gene demonstrated that these strains represent a novel yeast species belonging to the genus Scheffersomyces. The phylogenetic analysis based on the nucleotide sequences of the xylose reductase (XYL1) gene supported the view that the new strains could be grouped as a unique species. Although this new species is highly similar to Scheffersomyces stipitis-like yeasts in terms of nrDNA sequences and morphological and physiological characteristics, the species can be clearly differentiated from its close relatives on the basis of the sequences of XYL1 and RPB1. Therefore, a novel yeast species, Scheffersomyces titanus sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these strains. The type strain is NYNU 14712T (CICC 33061T = CBS 13926T).
