Six strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from Nothofagus spp. trees in native forests from Patagonia, Argentina. The strains were isolated from bark, fluxes, and from the ectomycorrhizospheric soil fraction of Nothofagus antarctica, N. nervosa and N. pumilio. Analysis of the D1/D2 large-subunit rDNA sequences indicated that the novel species belongs to the genus Lachancea and is closely related to L. meyersii. The name Lachancea nothofagi sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these strains. The type strain is UWOPS 99-807.3 (= CBS 11611 = NRRL Y-48670)
