| kwoniella mangroviensis gen. nov., sp.nov. (tremellales, basidiomycota), a teleomorphic yeast from mangrove habitats in the florida everglades and bahamas. | mangrove forests inhabit the shoreline regions of tropical and subtropical marine habitats, where they are the basis of a multi-trophic level food web that drives the shellfish and fisheries industries. yeasts, and other fungi, have significant roles in these ecosystems as they decompose plant organic material and serve as a food source for small invertebrates. studies designed to examine yeast communities of mangrove regions of the florida everglades and the bahamas demonstrated the repeated pr ... | 2008 | 17961172 |
| cryptococcus shivajii sp. nov.: a novel basidiomycetous yeast isolated from biogas reactor. | five yeast morphotypes were isolated from biogas reactors at north wyke research, okehampton, uk. out of the five morphotypes, four were identified as known species. in contrast, the fifth morphotype strain, bio10(t), was found to differ from bullera dendrophila and kwoniella mangroviensis, its closest phylogenetic neighbours, by 2.6-2.9% with respect to the nucleotide sequence of the d1/d2 domain of the 26s rrna gene and by 5.6-6.2% with respect to the internal transcribed spacer 1 (its1)-5.8s ... | 2010 | 19777306 |
