| Abstract: | Four strains of anamorphic yeasts isolated from fruit bodies of mushrooms collected in Japan were found to represent three new species of the genusCandida. These species resembleCandida mesenterica in characteristics commonly employed in the classification of yeasts. On the basis of DNA-DNA reassociation, however, they were clearly distinguished fromC. mesenterica and from one another. Three new species,Candida fungicola, Candida sagamina, andCandida fukazawae, are proposed for these yeasts. The analysis of SSU rDNA sequences suggested that these three species were closely related to each other and toC. mesenterica andC. suecica. |
