Three yeast isolates, NBRC 115909, NBRC 115910 and NBRC 116270, were isolated from (red clover) flowers collected from Kisarazu, Chiba, Japan. Analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions revealed that these isolates represent a single novel species within the genus . Also, no ascospore formation was observed. The yeast isolates were closely related to UWOPS 00-107.2 and NRRL Y-17081. They differed from , the most closely related species with a validly published name, by ten nucleotide substitutions with two gaps in the D1/D2 domains and 20 nucleotide substitutions in the ITS region. Moreover, the three isolates exhibited distinct phenotypic characteristics from the closely related species. Therefore, we suggest that these three isolates represent a novel species, designated as f.a., sp. nov. The holotype is NBRC 115909 (isotype: CBS 18485).
三个酵母分离株,NBRC 115909、NBRC 115910 和 NBRC 116270,是从日本千叶市的菊佐拉采集的 (红三叶草)花中分离出来的。对大亚基(LSU)rRNA 基因的 D1/D2 结构域和内部转录间隔区(ITS)区域的序列分析表明,这些分离株代表了属内的一个单一新种。此外,也没有观察到子囊孢子的形成。这些酵母分离株与 UWOPS 00-107.2 和 NRRL Y-17081 密切相关。与亲缘关系最近的具有有效发表名称的物种 相比,它们在 D1/D2 结构域中有十个核苷酸替换和两个空位,在 ITS 区域中有 20 个核苷酸替换。此外,这三个分离株表现出与亲缘关系密切的物种明显不同的表型特征。因此,我们建议这三个分离株代表一个新的物种,命名为 f.a.,sp. nov. 。模式株是 NBRC 115909(同型:CBS 18485)。
