| identity and biodegradative abilities of yeasts isolated from plants growing in an arid climate. | plants harvested in the canary islands lanzarote and fuerteventura were analyzed for the yeasts inhabiting their surface. half of the isolates (22 out of 44) were identified as debaryomyces hansenii. black ascomycetes, viz. hortaea werneckii and two hormonema species were represented by 7 strains. basidiomycetous yeasts, viz. cryptococcus sp. (8 strains), rhodotorula sp. (5 strains), cerinosterus cyanescens (1 strain) and pseudozyma sp. (1 strain) constituted a minority of 33%. thirty strains we ... | 1997 | 9298186 |
| hormonema schizolunatum, a new species of dothideaceous black yeasts from phyllosphere. | two black yeast isolates from plants from the canary islands (spain) are described and illustrated. absence of woronin bodies at simple septal pores, local coralloid terminal hyphal cells, indeterminate thallus maturation, the presence of budding cells and local conversion to meristematic growth all indicate a relationship to the dothideaceae (dothideales, ascomycota). morphological properties were consistent with the genus hormonema lagerberg & melin, as defined by presence of percurrent conidi ... | 1997 | 9195004 |
