Five new epiphytic species of Vishniacozyma (Bulleribasidiaceae, Tremellales) from China.

ABSTRACT: The genus Vishniacozyma, globally distributed, encompasses numerous epiphytic and endophytic species. In this study, five new species are proposed to accommodate eleven yeast strains isolated from leaves of different plants: V.diospyri sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33574^T), V.guiyangensis sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33569^T), V.pingtangensis sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33596^T), V.eriobotryae sp. nov. (holotype GDMCC 2.312^T), and V.tianchiensis sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33617^T) using phenotypic and phylogenetic characters. Phylogenetic analysis was based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene. Illustrations and
