Five novel species of the anamorphic genus Candida in the Cyberlindnera clade isolated from natural substrates in Taiwan

Abstract: Twelve strains representing five novel yeast species were isolated from natural samples distributed in mountain areas in Taiwan during 2007 and 2009. Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene revealed that these species are members of the Cyberlindnera clade. These five new species have a greater than 1% difference from their closest relatives in the sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene and were well separated from their closest relatives in terms of physiological… Show more

“…But Lindnera is a later homonym of a valid published plant genus, the genus Cyberlindnera was introduced as a replacement name for Lindnera , with 21 new combinations 42 . The Cyberlindnera clade contains 23 recognized teleomorphic species and 12 Candida species are also related to this clade 43 . The yeast Cyberlindner ajadinii , previously referred to as Pichia jadinii , Hansenul ajadinii or Candida guilliermondii , was reported to be the teleomorph of Candida utilis (also referred to as Torula yeast) 44 , which was used for almost one hundred years for various biotechnological applications 45 .…”

“…Classifications were curated manually for parsimony. While the fungal taxonomy is imperfect and in a state flux [45], [60][62], we note that in practice the Unifrac metric is relatively robust to the method used in creating phylogenetic trees [63]. Comprehensive data on OTU mean proportions and counts are in Tables S4–S7.…”

“…The isolation of this novel species from diverse sources associated with lignocellulosic substrates in different regions of Brazil and also in the USA and Taiwan suggests that the lignocellulose and related materials could be its ecological niche. The close relatives of this novel yeast species – C. japonica , C. maesa and C. easanensis – have been isolated from frass samples collected in insect tunnels in fir trees, trees (fir and oak) and phylloplane (Kurtzman et al , 2011; Chang et al , 2012), suggesting an adaptation of these yeasts to these particular habitats.…”

“…Since the last yeast taxonomic treatise (Kurtzman et al , 2011), novel species of Cyberlindnera have been described, such as Lindnera ( Cyberlindnera ) rhizosphaerae (Mestre et al , 2011), Lindnera ( Cyberlindnera ) wuzhiensis (Wang & Bai, 2010), C. samutprakarnensis (Poomtien et al , 2013) and C. xylebori (Ninomiya et al , 2013). Other species recently described as C. mengyuniae , C. adriatica , C. maesa , C. takata , C. taoyuanica , C. hungchunana and C. stauntonica also belong to the Cyberlindnera clade (Chen et al , 2009; Čadež et al , 2012; Chang et al , 2012). Despite the discovery of such an impressive number of novel species, the biotechnological properties of the majority of yeasts within the Cyberlindnera clade, with few exceptions, are still unknown.…”
