“…Within flowers, nectar is a substrate suitable for yeast colonization (Pozo et al 2011(Pozo et al , 2012, but its high sugar content can be inhibitory to many yeasts. Like certain other members of the Starmerella sensu lato subclade (Tokuaka et al 1987;James et al 2001;Lachance et al 2001a) S. syriatica can grow in the presence of 50 and 60 % glucose, indicating that it might be able to colonise nectar and thus could be distributed by insects feeding on nectar. It is pertinent to note that the closest relative, C. vaccinii CBS 7318 T was described by Tokuoka et al (1987) as an osmophilic isolate from a blueberry flower.…”

Four strains of a novel asexual ascomycetous yeast species were isolated from Malva sp. flowers in Syria. Sequencing of the regions spanning the small subunit, 5.8S, and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit ribosomal RNA genes showed that the isolates were conspecific. Comparative analysis of these sequences and the corresponding sequences of the type strains of ascomycetous yeasts revealed that the novel species is phylogenetically related to members of the Starmerella clade. Its closest relative is Candida vaccinii. For the new species the name Starmerella syriaca is proposed. Its strains are osmotolerant and produce pseudohypha-like structures capable of penetrating agar media. The type strain is 2-1362(T) (=CBS 13909(T) = NCAIM Y.02138(T) = CCY 090-003-001(T)). The GenBank accession numbers for its nucleotide sequences are: JX515986 (D1/D2 LSU), JX515987 (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) and JX515988 (SSU). Mycobank: MB 810090.

“…Candida sorbosivorans was recovered from two samples of A. mellifera in Chantabuti and Nan provinces. It has been described as a species occurring in contaminated industrial material involved in a cascade continuous process for oxidizing sorbitol (D-glucitol) to L-sorbose (James et al 2001). Trindade et al (2002) showed that C. sorbosivorans is also a yeast associated with Brazilian tropical fruits, and this could be its principal ecological habitat.…”

A novel ascosporogenous yeast species, Zygosaccharomyces siamensis, and the sugar tolerant yeasts associated with raw honey collected in Thailand

et al. 2011

Diversity of yeasts in association with bees and their food sources has been explored during the last decade. In Thailand, there has been no study of yeast identification in honey and bees. Hence, a total of 186 yeast strains were isolated from 37 honey samples of 12 different bee species. On the basis of morphological and physiological characteristics, 55 representative strains were chosen and identified by sequence analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain and the ITS region. The data were compared with the published sequences and the results showed the occurrence of 19 ascomycetous and 1 basidiomycetous yeast species. Six strains of the new species were isolated. Phylogenetic analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 sequence revealed that they were conspecific and most closely related to Zygosaccharomyces mellis. Based on the ITS sequence, the new species was clustered with the type " and clearly distinguished from the type !. Sequence analysis of combined ITS-26S rDNA D1/D2 showed similar results. The occurrence of these two types, with a divergence of more than 1% in their sequences, and low DNA relatedness among them suggested that members of the type β can be regarded as separate species. An analysis of the morphological and physiological characteristics was performed. Ascospore formation was observed on acetate agar and Gorodkowa agar. The new Zygosaccharomyces species differed physiologically from Z. mellis in 4 assimilation tests. This data supports the hypothesis that the new species, Zygosaccharomyces siamensis, is a novel ascosporogenous yeast. The type strain is JCM 16825 T (=CBS 12273 T ) and a description is given here.

“…1). Fourteen strains represented by ST-490 T had identical sequences in the D1/D2 domain and differed from Candida sorbosivorans (James et al, 2001), the nearest species in this domain, by 11 nucleotides (2.3%), and the remaining strain, ST-594 T , differed from Candida geochares, the nearest species, by 21 nucleotides (4.7%). The two groups, strain ST-594 T and the 14 strains represented by ST-490 T , differed by 28 nucleotides (6.2%) from each other.…”

IntroductionAscomycetous yeasts usually have glucan-mannan type cell walls but species with glucan-galactomannan type cell walls are also found. Gorin and Spencer (1970) carried out extensive studies on mannosecontaining polysaccharides of yeasts, which were alkali-extracted and purifi ed via copper-complexes, by proton magnetic resonance spectra as in aid of identifi cation and chemotaxonomy. In their studies, several ascomycetous yeast species have galactose in addi-J. Gen. Appl.
