Strains belonging to two novel yeast species, Candida bromeliacearum and Candida ubatubensis, were isolated from the bromeliad tank of Canistropsis seidelii (Bromeliaceae) in a sandy coastal plain (restinga) ecosystem site in an Atlantic rainforest of south-eastern Brazil. These species were genetically distinct from all other currently accepted ascomycetous yeasts, based on sequence divergence in the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rDNA and in the small-subunit rDNA. The species occupy basal positions in the Metschnikowiaceae clade. The type strains are Candida bromeliacearum UNESP 00-103T (=CBS 10002T=NRRL Y-27811T) and Candida ubatubensis UNESP 01-247RT (=CBS 10003T=NRRL Y-27812T).

Abbreviations: LSU, large subunit; SSU, small subunit

Published online ahead of print on 1 April 2005 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63698-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the large-subunit and small-subunit rRNA gene sequences for strain UNESP 00-103T are AY695394 and AY695396, respectively, and AY695395 and AY695397, respectively, for strain UNESP 01-247RT.
