| metschnikowia chrysoperlae sp. nov., candida picachoensis sp. nov. and candida pimensis sp. nov., isolated from the green lacewings chrysoperla comanche and chrysoperla carnea (neuroptera: chrysopidae). | fourteen yeast isolates comprising three taxa were cultured from digestive tracts of adult chrysoperla species (neuroptera: chrysopidae) and their eggs. the yeast taxa were distinguished based on an estimated molecular phylogeny, dna sequences and traditional taxonomic criteria. the new yeasts are closely related to metschnikowia pulcherrima but are sufficiently distinguished by sequence comparison of rrna gene sequences to consider them as novel species. here, three novel species are described ... | 2004 | 15388758 |
| metschnikowia noctiluminum sp. nov., metschnikowia corniflorae sp. nov., and candida chrysomelidarum sp. nov., isolated from green lacewings and beetles. | fourteen yeast isolates belonging to the metschnikowia clade were isolated from the digestive tracts of lacewings (neuroptera: chrysopidae), soldier beetles and leaf beetles (coleoptera: cantharidae and chrysomelidae), and a caddisfly (trichoptera: hydropsychidae). the insect hosts were associated with sugary substances of plants, a typical habitat for yeasts in this clade. based on dna sequence comparisons and phenetic characters, the yeasts were identified as candida picachoensis, candida pime ... | 2006 | 16483756 |
