A new yeast species, Candida gelsemii, is described to accommodate three isolates recovered in Georgia, USA, from the toxic nectar of the Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens). The species resembles other members of the Metschnikowiaceae clade that have been recovered from nectar, but differs in a number of morphological and physiological characteristics. Analysis of rDNA sequences places the new species well into the clade, but in a basal position with respect to a group of Metschnikowia and Candida species known to occur in association with nectars and bees, as well as marine invertebrates. The type is strain UWOPS 06-24.1(T) (CBS 10509(T), NRRL Y-48212(T).
描述了一种新的酵母物种——钩吻假丝酵母（Candida gelsemii），它包含从美国佐治亚州卡罗莱纳茉莉（Gelsemium sempervirens）有毒花蜜中分离出的三个菌株。该物种类似于从花蜜中分离出的梅奇尼科夫酵母科进化枝的其他成员，但在许多形态和生理特征上有所不同。rDNA序列分析表明，该新物种很好地归入进化枝中，但相对于已知与花蜜和蜜蜂以及海洋无脊椎动物相关的一组梅奇尼科夫酵母属和假丝酵母属物种，它处于基部位置。模式菌株为UWOPS 06 - 24.1(T)（CBS 10509(T)，NRRL Y - 48212(T)）。
