Abstract

Ten strains of a new endophytic ascospore-forming, methanol-assimilating yeast were isolated from the galls induced by sawflies on the leaves of willows in the Losiny Ostrov National Park (Moscow region). Standard phenotypical tests and phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA gene, 5.8S-ITS gene region and 26S rRNA gene (D1/D2 domains) sequences showed that the species belongs to the genus Ogataea. We describe it as Ogataea cecidiorum and designate type culture KBP Y-3846 (= CBS 11522T = VKM Y-2982T = VKPM Y-3482T = MUCL 52544T = NCAIM Y.01965T) as the type strain. The new species was registered in MycoBank under MB 515233.

Phylogenetic placement of O. cecidiorum obtained by maximum likelihood analysis of 18S rRNA and 26S rRNA (D1/D2 domains) genes. The numbers given on branches are frequencies (>50%) with which a given branch appeared in 1,000 bootstrap replications. The scale indicates the number of expected substitutions accumulated per site. The tree is rooted with Schizosaccharomyces pombe (EU011742 U40085). Sequence accession numbers of type strains are listed, sequences determined in this study are given in bold. (EPS 512 kb)
