The novel yeast species Candida leandrae is described based on eight isolates from decaying fruits of Leandra reversa Cogn. (Melastomataceae) in an Atlantic rainforest site in Brazil, one from a Convolvulaceae flower in Costa Rica and one from a drosophilid in Hawai'i. The strains differed in their colony morphology, one being butyrous and smooth and the other being filamentous and rugose. Sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene from both morphotypes were identical. C. leandrae belongs to the Kodamaea clade and is closely related to Candida restingae. The two species can be separated on the basis of growth at 37 degrees C and the assimilation of melezitose, negative in the novel species. The type culture of C. leandrae is strain UNESP 00-64R(T) (=CBS 9735(T)=NRRL Y-27757(T)).
新型酵母物种莱氏假丝酵母是基于从巴西大西洋雨林地区的反转叶下珠(野牡丹科)腐烂果实中分离出的8个菌株、来自哥斯达黎加旋花科花朵中的1个菌株以及来自夏威夷果蝇中的1个菌株而描述的。这些菌株在菌落形态上有所不同,一种呈奶油状且光滑,另一种呈丝状且有皱纹。两种形态型的大亚基rRNA基因D1/D2结构域序列相同。莱氏假丝酵母属于小克银汉霉分支,与静息假丝酵母密切相关。这两个物种可以根据在37℃下的生长情况以及松三糖的同化作用来区分,新物种对此呈阴性。莱氏假丝酵母的模式菌株是UNESP 00-64R(T)(=CBS 9735(T)=NRRL Y-27757(T))。
