Abstract: | Relationships among species assigned to the yeast genera Pichia, Issatchenkia and Williopsis , which are characterized by the ubiquinone CoQ-7 and inability to utilize methanol, were phylogenetically analyzed from nucleotide sequence divergence in the genes coding for large and small subunit rRNAs and for translation elongation factor-1α. From this analysis, the species separated into five clades. Species of Issatchenkia are members of the Pichia membranifaciens clade and are proposed for transfer to Pichia . Pichia dryadoides and Pichia quercuum are basal members of the genus Starmera . Williopsis species are dispersed among hat-spored taxa in each of the remaining three clades, which are proposed as the new genera Barnettozyma, Lindnera and Wickerhamomyces . Lineages previously classified as varieties of Pichia kluyveri , ' Issatchenkia ' scutulata, Starmera amethionina and ' Williopsis ' saturnus are elevated to species rank based on sequence comparisons. |
