Abstract

Several rare species and varieties of psychrophilic yeasts were isolated from the Sphagnum mosses and paludal vascular plants of Moscow oblast. Based on their 26S rDNA D1/D2 nucleotide sequences, they were assigned to the species Sterigmatosporidium polymorphum, Rhodotorula psychrophenolica, and Aureobasidium pullulans var. subglaciale. Thus, a new habitat of S. polymorphum was found and yeasts known previously only for the Alpine environments and the Arctic region have been isolated in the central regions of Russia for the first time.
