A new methanol assimilating yeast, Ogataea parapolymorpha, the ascosporic state of Candida parapolymorpha.

摘要: Ogataea parapolymorpha sp. n. (NRRL YB-1982, CBS 12304, type strain), the ascosporic state of Candida parapolymorpha, is described. The species appears homothallic, assimilates methanol as typical most and forms hat-shaped ascospores in asci that become deliquescent. O. closely related to angusta polymorpha. three can be resolved from gene sequence analyses but are unresolved fermentation growth reactions typically used for yeast identification. On basis multiple isolates, known only California, USA, association with Drosophila Aulacigaster flies, predominantly associated insect frass trees eastern USA polymorpha has been isolated various substrates Brazil, Spain Costa Rica.
