A novel asexual ascomycetous yeast, Candida kunwiensis (SG99-26T = KCTC 17041T = CBS 9067T), was isolated from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) flowers in Korea and from the body surface of pollinating bumblebees in Germany. Comparative analysis of the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA of all available sequences for ascomycetous yeasts showed that the novel species was phylogenetically related to the genus Metschnikowia, but the sequence similarity was low. Morphologically and physiologically, C. kunwiensis in many ways resembles Metschnikowia pulcherrima, but can be distinguished from this species by its ability to assimilate lactic acid and its inability to produce pulcherrimin.
一种新的无性子囊酵母——昆威念珠菌（Candida kunwiensis，SG99 - 26T = KCTC 17041T = CBS 9067T），从韩国的甘薯（Ipomoea batatas）花以及德国的传粉大黄蜂体表分离得到。对所有可用的子囊酵母26S rDNA的D1/D2结构域序列进行比较分析表明，该新物种在系统发育上与梅奇酵母属（Metschnikowia）相关，但序列相似性较低。在形态和生理方面，昆威念珠菌在许多方面类似于美丽梅奇酵母（Metschnikowia pulcherrima），但可通过其同化乳酸的能力以及不能产生美丽菌素与该物种区分开来。
