Abstract

Five strains (RV5T, RV140, R31T, RS17 and RS28T) representing three novel anamorphic ascomycetous yeast species were isolated by membrane filtration from estuarine waters collected from a mangrove forest in Laem Son National Park, Ranong Province, Thailand, on different occasions. On the basis of morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer region and phylogenetic analysis, three strains were found to represent two novel Candida species. Two strains (RV5T and RV140) represented a single novel species, for which the name Candida laemsonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RV5T (=BCC 35154T =NBRC 105873T =CBS 11419T). Strain R31T was assigned to a novel species that was named Candida andamanensis sp. nov. (type strain R31T =BCC 25965T =NBRC 103862T =CBS 10859T). On the basis of morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis, strains RS17 and RS28T represented another novel species of Candida, for which the name Candida ranongensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RS28T (=BCC 25964T =NBRC 103861T =CBS 10861T).
