| Abstract: | During a survey of methylotrophic yeasts in natural habitats in Hungary, the yeast community associated with the exudates of white poplar ( Populus alba ) was found to be unique among the tree exudates hitherto investigated. Nineteen methanol-assimilating yeast strains representing an undescribed ascomycetous species were isolated from tree exudates of P. alba collected at different locations in Hungary. Analysis of the D1/D2 large subunit rRNA gene sequences placed the strains in the Ogataea clade and the new species is described as Ogataea populialbae . The type culture is NCAIM Y.01853T (CBS 11363, NRRL Y-48632). |
