Torulaspora lindneri sp. nov., a novel ascomycetous yeast species isolated from China and Thailand

A yeast strain isolated from chestnut tree bark collected in Guangshan County, Xinyang, Henan Province, China and a strain isolated from soil collected in Phu Wiang District, Khon Khen Province, Thailand possess identical sequences in the 26S ribosomal RNA gene D1/D2 domain and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the two strains belong to the genus <i>Torulaspora</i> and are closely related to <i>T. jiuxiensis</i> but differed from the species by 7 (1.26%, 7 substitutions and 0 gap) and 43 (5.75 %, 31 substitutions and 12 gaps) mismatches in the D1/D2 domain and ITS region, respectively. The result suggests that the Chinese and the Thai strains represent a novel species in the genus <i>Torulaspora</i>, for which the name <i>Torulaspora lindneri</i> sp. nov. (holotype strain CGMCC 2.7783) is proposed. This species forms one or two spherical ascospores in persistent asci, usually with tapered protuberances.

Abstract

A yeast strain isolated from chestnut tree bark collected in Guangshan County, Xinyang, Henan Province, China and a strain isolated from soil collected in Phu Wiang District, Khon Khen Province, Thailand possess identical sequences in the 26S ribosomal RNA gene D1/D2 domain and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the two strains belong to the genus <i>Torulaspora</i> and are closely related to <i>T. jiuxiensis</i> but differed from the species by 7 (1.26%, 7 substitutions and 0 gap) and 43 (5.75 %, 31 substitutions and 12 gaps) mismatches in the D1/D2 domain and ITS region, respectively. The result suggests that the Chinese and the Thai strains represent a novel species in the genus <i>Torulaspora</i>, for which the name <i>Torulaspora lindneri</i> sp. nov. (holotype strain CGMCC 2.7783) is proposed. This species forms one or two spherical ascospores in persistent asci, usually with tapered protuberances.
