| candida kashinagacola sp. nov., c. pseudovanderkliftii sp. nov. and c. vanderkliftii sp. nov., three new yeasts from ambrosia beetle-associated sources. | three new yeast species, candida kashinagacola (jcm 15019(t) = cbs 10903(t)), c. pseudovanderkliftii (jcm 15025(t) = cbs 10904(t)), and c. vanderkliftii (jcm 15029(t) = cbs 10905(t)) are described on the basis of comparison of nucleotide sequences of large subunit ribosomal dna d1/d2 region (lsu rdna d1/d2). the nearest assigned species of the three new species was candida llanquihuensis. candida kashinagacola and c. pseudovanderkliftii differed from c. llanquihuensis by 3.8% nucleotide substitu ... | 2008 | 18537038 |
| fungus symbionts colonizing the galleries of the ambrosia beetle platypus quercivorus. | isolations were made to determine the fungal symbionts colonizing platypus quercivorus beetle galleries of dead or dying quercus laurifolia, castanopsis cuspidata, quercus serrata, quercus crispula, and quercus robur. for these studies, logs from oak wilt-killed trees were collected from kyoto prefecture, japan. fungi were isolated from the: (1) entrances of beetle galleries, (2) vertical galleries, (3) lateral galleries, and (4) the larval cradle of p. quercivorus in each host tree. among the f ... | 2011 | 21384214 |
| description of ambrosiozyma oregonensis sp. nov., and reassignment of candida species of the ambrosiozyma clade to ambrosiozyma kashinagacola f.a., comb. nov., ambrosiozyma llanquihuensis f.a., comb. nov., ambrosiozyma maleeae f.a., comb. nov., ambrosiozyma pseudovanderkliftii f.a., comb. nov., and ambrosiozyma vanderkliftii f.a., comb. nov. | ambrosiozyma oregonensis sp. nov. is described from two strains, one isolated from a mountain stream in oregon, usa (nrrl y-6106(t) = cbs 5560(t)), and a second (nrrl yb-4169) from an unknown substrate from marion, illinois, usa. the species forms four hat-shaped ascospores in each deliquescent ascus and appears to be homothallic. abundant true hyphae are produced with some having apparent dolipore-like septa. analyses of nuclear gene sequences for the d1/d2 domains of large-subunit rrna, small- ... | 2013 | 23938285 |
| a new record of candida kashinagacola (synonym ambrosiozyma kashinagacola) from galleries of platypus koryoensis, the oak wilt disease vector, in korea. | the ambrosia beetle, platypus koryoensis, is an economically important pest affecting oak trees in korea. candida kashinagacola was isolated from galleries of the beetle in oak wood and identified by analyses of morphology, physiological properties, and nucleotide sequence of the large subunit ribosomal dna. this is the first report on candida species associated with oak wilt disease vectored by the ambrosia beetle, platypus koryoensis, in korea. | 2013 | 24493947 |
| yeast associated with the ambrosia beetle, platypus koryoensis, the pest of oak trees in korea. | oak tree death caused by symbiosis of an ambrosia beetle, platypus koryoensis, and an ophiostomatoid filamentous fungus, raffaelea quercus-mongolicae, has been a nationwide problem in korea since 2004. in this study, we surveyed the yeast species associated with p. koryoensis to better understand the diversity of fungal associates of the beetle pest. in 2009, a total of 195 yeast isolates were sampled from larvae and adult beetles (female and male) of p. koryoensis in cheonan, goyang, and paju; ... | 2015 | 26839506 |
