Abstract
Two yeast strains, designated NYNU 22992 and NYNU 229246, were obtained from the phylloplane of Photinia bodinieri and Debregeasia orientalis in the Guiyang Medicinal Botanical Garden, Guizhou, China. Phylogenetic evaluation, incorporating concatenated ITS and D1/D2 LSU sequences, indicated a close relationship between these isolates and Farysia magdalena, Farysia itapuensis, Farysia taiwaniana and Farysia chardoniana. Sequence identity comparisons showed similarity levels of 99.7-98.2% for D1/D2 LSU and 96.8-94% for the ITS region. Minor physiological traits were noted, as these strains were unable to utilize xylitol, differentiating them from F. magdalena, F. itapuensis and F. taiwaniana. Physiological data for F. chardoniana were not available for comparison. Based on both phylogenetic positioning and phenotypic characteristics, these yeast strains represent a novel species within Farysia, for which the name Farysia photiniae sp. nov. is proposed with holotype GDMCC 2.322T (MycoBank MB 858491).
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
