Fellomyces ogasawarensis sp. nov. and Fellomyces distylii sp. nov., yeasts isolated from a plant in Japan

Int J Syst Bacteriol. 1998 Jan:48 Pt 1:287-93. doi: 10.1099/00207713-48-1-287.

Abstract

Fellomyces ogasawarensis and Fellomyces distylii, new yeast species isolated from a dead leaf of a plant (Distylium-lepidotum Nakai, family Hamamelidaceae) collected in the Ogasawara Islands, isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean about 1000 km south of Japan, are described. The phylogenetic relationship of F. ogasawarensis and F. distylii with other members of the genus Fellomyces was estimated from 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The type strain of F. ogasawarensis is strain OK-81 (= JCM 9861) and that of F. distylii is strain OK-83 (= JCM 9862).
