| cryptotrichosporon anacardii gen. nov., sp. nov., a new trichosporonoid capsulate basidiomycetous yeast from nigeria that is able to form melanin on niger seed agar. | five yeast isolates obtained from cashew tree flowers in nigeria resembled cryptococcus neoformans phenotypically by producing brown pigmented colonies on niger seed agar, expressing a capsule, and being able to grow at 37 degrees c. however, rrna gene sequences, including the 18s rrna gene, the d1/d2 domains of the 26s rrna gene and the its1+2 regions, suggested that these yeasts form a basal lineage within the trichosporonales (tremellomycetidae, hymenomycetes, basidiomycota, fungi). since the ... | 2007 | 17002780 |
