Three strains (JCM 15063(T), JCM 15098 and JCM 15099) of a novel basidiomycetous yeast species belonging to the genus Sporobolomyces were isolated from nasal smears of Queensland koalas kept in a Japanese zoological park. Analyses of sequences of the nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer region and the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain and morphological studies indicated that these strains represent a novel species with a close phylogenetic relationship to Sporobolomyces carnicolor and Sporobolomyces japonicus in the Sporidiobolus lineage, for which the name Sporobolomyces koalae sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JCM 15063(T) =CBS 10914(T) =DSM 19992(T)).
从日本动物园饲养的昆士兰树袋熊的鼻拭子中分离出三株属于掷孢酵母属的新型担子菌酵母菌株（JCM 15063(T)、JCM 15098和JCM 15099）。对核糖体DNA内转录间隔区序列、26S核糖体DNA D1/D2结构域的分析以及形态学研究表明，这些菌株代表了一个新物种，在掷孢酵母谱系中与肉色掷孢酵母和日本掷孢酵母有密切的系统发育关系，为此提出新名称考拉掷孢酵母（Sporobolomyces koalae sp. nov.）（模式菌株JCM 15063(T)=CBS 10914(T)=DSM 19992(T)）。
