Description of Crinitomyces reliqui gen. nov., sp. nov. and Reassignment of Trichosporiella flavificans and Candida ghanaensis to the Genus Crinitomyces.

ABSTRACT: The systematic position of 16 yeast strains isolated from Thailand, Hungary, The Netherlands, and the Republic of Poland were evaluated using morphological, physiological, and phylogenetic analyses. Based on the similarity of the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene, the strains were assigned to two distinct species, Trichosporiella flavificans and representatives of a new yeast species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that Candida ghanaensis CBS 8798T showed a strong relationship with the aforementioned two species. The more fascinating issue is that Candida and Trichosporiella genera have been placed in different subphyla, Saccharomycotina and Pezizomycotina, respectively. The close relationship between Trichosporiella flavificans, Candida ghanaensis and the undescribed species was unexpecte
