New Yeast

Numerous strains of an unusual asexual yeast species were isolated from flowers of morning glory (Ipomoea spp., Convolvulaceae) and associated drosophilids and sap beetles of the genus Conotelus sampled in Hawaii and in Brazil. The nutritional profile of this yeast is similar to those of Metschnikowia hawaiiensis and Metschnikowia continentalis, which share the same habitats. The cells are large, hydrophobic, and tend to remain attached after budding, causing the colonies on agar media to have a convoluted appearance, reminiscent of popcorn. The sequences of the D1/D2 domain of large subunit rDNAs of strains from three different localities confirmed that a single species is involved, and that it is related to large-spored Metschnikowia species. The type strain is UWO(PS)91-672.1 (CBS 8466).Key words: Candida ipomoeae, yeast, new species, rDNA.

New Yeast

Two new haplontic heterothallic species of Metschnikowia were isolated from floricolous insects and flowers. Metschnikowia lochheadii was recovered from insects found in various flowers on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai and Maui, and from Conotelus sp. (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) in northwestern Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. The morphology, physiology, and sexual cycle are typical of the large-spored Metschnikowia species, and the partial ribosomal DNA large subunit (D1D2) sequences suggest that the new species is most closely related to Candida ipomoeae. Metschnikowia lochheadii is nearly indistinguishable from its ascogenous relatives and conjugates freely with Metschnikowia continentalis, forming sterile asci. It also exhibits asymmetric mating with Metschnikowia hawaiiensis. Metschnikowia drosophilae was found in morning glory (Ipomoea sp.) flowers and associated Drosophila bromeliae on Grand Cayman Island. Its nutritional profile is atypical of the genus, being the only species that does not utilize sucrose or maltose as carbon sources, and one of the few that does not utilize melezitose. D1D2 sequences show that Metschnikowia drosophilae is a sister species to Candida torresii, to which it bears considerable similarity in nutritional profile. The type cultures are: Metschnikowia lochheadii, strains UWO(PS)00-133.2 = CBS 8807 (h+, holotype) UWO(PS)99-661.1 = CBS 8808 (h–, isotype); and Metschnikowia drosophilae, strains UWO(PS)83-1135.3 = CBS 8809 (h+, holotype) and UWO(PS)83-1143.1 = CBS 8810 (h–, isotype).Key words: Metschnikowia lochheadii, Metschnikowia drosophilae, new yeast species, insects, flowers.
