Pichia inositovora and Candida paludigena, Two New Species of Yeasts Isolated from Peat

Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, Pushchino, Moscow region 142292, U.S.S.R.

ABSTRACT

Representatives of two new yeast species, Pichia inositovora and Candida paludigena, have been recovered from highmoor peat. P. inositovora forms two to four hat-shaped spores in the ascus; each of the ledges of the ascospores has a bulb at the end. It is nonfermentative and insoitol positive C. paludigena forms abundant true mycelium with conidia on denticles. The cell wall structure corresponds to that of ascomycetous yeasts. This species is urease negative, inositol positive, nonfermentative, and nitrate negative. The type strains of these species are AM-125 (=CBS 0000; = IBPhM Y-888) and AM-146 (= CBS 0000; = IBPhM Y-917), respectively.
