Three new insect-associated species of the yeast genus Candida

C P Kurtzman et al. Can J Microbiol. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

Three new species of Candida are described that were determined to be genetically isolated from all other currently accepted ascomycetous yeasts based on their sequence divergence in the species-variable D1/D2 domain of large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA. One of the species was isolated from an ambrosia beetle, whereas the other two were from the frass of wood-boring beetle larvae. The new species and their type strains are the following: Candida ontarioensis NRRL YB-1246 (CBS 8502), Candida tammaniensis NRRL Y-8257 (CBS 8504), and Candida trypodendroni NRRL Y-6488 (CBS 8505).
