“…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.…”
