<i>Starmerella guilliamiae </i>f.a, sp. nov. and <i>Starmerella monicapupoiae </i>f.a., sp. nov. de novo assemblies
收藏资源简介：
Four yeast isolates collected from flowers in different ecosystems in Brazil, one from fruit of <i>Nothofagus alpina </i>in Argentina, two from pods of <i>Neltuma chilensis</i> in Chile, and one obtained from the proventriculus a of female bumblebee in Canada were shown by the analysis of the sequences of the ITS region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene to represent two novel species belonging to the genus <i>Starmerella. </i>These species are described here as <i>Starmerella gilliamiae </i>f.a, sp. nov. (CBS16166<sup>T</sup>), and <i>Starmerella monicapupoiae </i>f.a.,<i> </i>sp. nov. (CBS16165<sup>T</sup>). A phylogenomic analysis showed that <i>S. guilliamiae </i>belongs to a subclade that contains <i>S. opuntiae, S. aceti, </i>and <i>S. apicola</i>. The same analyses showed that <i>Starmerella monicapupoiae</i> is phylogenetically related to <i>S. riodocensis</i>. The two isolates of <i>Starmerella monicapupoiae </i>were obtained from flowers in Brazil and are probably vectored by insects that visit these substrates. <i>Starmerella guilliamae </i>has a wide geographical distribution having been isolated in flowers in Brazil, fruit in Argentina, plant tissues in Chile, and a bumblebee in Canada.
