Abstract
Two xylose-utilizing yeast strains isolated from rotten wood collected in the rainforest in different mountains of Hainan province, southern China, were studied. Sequence analysis of the large subunit rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer region revealed that the strains represent a novel anamorphic yeast species, for which the name Candida cellulosicola sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is HNX16-2(T) (=CGMCC 2.3503(T)=CBS 11952(T)). Phylogenetically, the novel species was closely related to a xylose-utilizing teleomorphic ascomycetous yeast species Spencermartinsiella europaea in the family Trichomonascaceae, but differed from the latter by 3.0% mismatches in the D1/D2 domain.
