This study isolated new yeast species related to the genus Wickerhamiella from various samples in Brazil and Thailand, and proposed a new species name based on genetic analysis of its differences from known species.
Four yeast isolates with an affinity to the genus Wickerhamiella were obtained from beach sand, a marine zoanthid and a tree exudate at different localities in Brazil. Two other isolates with almost identical ITS and D1/D2 sequences of the large subunit rRNA gene were isolated from the small intestine of cattle and a grease trap in Thailand. These isolates represent a novel species phylogenetically related to Wickerhamiella verensis, Wickerhamiella osmotolerans, Wickerhamiella tropicalis, Wickerhamiella sorbophila and Wickerhamiella infanticola. The novel species differs by 15-30 nucleotide differences from these species in the D1/D2 sequences. The name Wickerhamiella martinezcruziae f.a., sp. nov. is proposed. The holotype of Wickerhamiella martinezcruziae sp. nov. is CBS 16104T. The MycoBank number is MB 839328.
