Saturnospora ahearnii, a new, nonhyphal saturn-spored yeast, is described. The type strain (NRRL Y-7555, CBS 6121) of this species was isolated from the rhizosphere of marsh grass in Louisiana. Comparisons of nuclear DNA complementarity showed S. ahearnii to be closely related to S. saitoi, a species presently known only from Japan.
