摘要
Background: Independent surveys across the globe led to the proposal of a new basidiomycetous yeast genus within the Bulleromyces clade of the Tremellales, Bandoniozyma gen. nov., with seven new species. Methodology/Principal Findings: The species were characterized by multiple methods, including the analysis of D1/D2 and ITS nucleotide sequences, and morphological and physiological/biochemical traits. Most species can ferment glucose, which is an unusual trait among basidiomycetous yeasts. Conclusions/Significance: In this study we propose the new yeast genus Bandoniozyma, with seven species Bandoniozyma noutii sp. nov. (type species of genus; CBS 8364 T = DBVPG 4489 T ), Bandoniozyma aquatica sp. nov. (UFMG-DH4.20 T = CBS 12527 T = ATCC MYA-4876 T ), Bandoniozyma complexa sp. nov. (CBS 11570 T = ATCC MYA-4603 T = MA28a T ), Bandoniozyma fermentans sp. nov. (CBS 12399 T = NU7M71 T = BCRC 23267 T ), Bandoniozyma glucofermentans sp. nov. (CBS 10381 T = NRRL Y-48076 T = ATCC MYA-4760 T = BG 02-7-15-015A-1-1 T ), Bandoniozyma tunnelae sp. nov. (CBS 8024 T = DBVPG 7000 T ), and Bandoniozyma visegradensis sp. nov. (CBS 12505 T = NRRL Y-48783 T = NCAIM Y.01952 T ). © 2012 Valente et al.
