Of these, most species appear to be endemic to tropical regions (W. cacticola, W. dianesei, W. dulcicola, W. fructicola, W. goesii, W. kiyanii, W. occidentalis, W. osmotolerans, W. pagnoccae, W. queroliae, W. shivajii, W. siamensis and W. slavikovae), while other species have a cosmopolitan distribution [7,10,11,13,[22][23][24]26].

“…According to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants [5], which permits related anamorphic or teleomorphic species to be assigned to the same genus, 18 species formerly assigned to the genus Candida have consequently been transferred to the genus Wickerhamiella [6]. Several additional members of the genus Wickerhamiella, based on teleomorphic [7] and anamorphic species, were later discovered and described [8][9][10][11][12][13]. At the time of writing, there are 43 species in the genus of Wickerhamiella including six species with a known sexual state viz.…”

Strains SU22T (TBRC 14875T) and FLA11.5, representing a novel anamorphic yeast species, were respectively isolated from a fruiting body of a Coprinus species and an inflorescence of a Coffea species collected in Thailand. Analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions showed that the two strains differed by two nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene and were identical in the ITS regions. Wickerhamiella drosophilae CBS 8459T was the most closely related species, but with 24–26 nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene and 24 nucleotide substitutions in the ITS regions. A phylogenetic analysis, based on the sequences of the D1/D2 domains, indicated that the two strains represented a species in the genus Wickerhamiella which was distinct from other recognized species of the genus. Therefore, the two strains were assigned as a novel species, for which we propose the name Wickerhamiella nakhonpathomensis f.a. sp. nov. The holotype is TBRC 14875T (isotype PYCC 8914T). The MycoBank number of the novel species is MB 840833.

“…The genus Wickerhamiella consists of species that exhibit nutritional specialization are mostly associated with flowers, fruits, leaves and insects. Forty-three Wickerhamiella species are known, with some exhibiting a cosmopolitan distribution, and others living in specialized habitats in ecosystems of the Neotropics and Asia [1][2][3][4][5]. Most species do not ferment glucose or produce filamentous growth [6].…”

Four yeast isolates with an affinity to the genus Wickerhamiella were obtained from beach sand, a marine zoanthid and a tree exudate at different localities in Brazil. Two other isolates with almost identical ITS and D1/D2 sequences of the large subunit rRNA gene were isolated from the small intestine of cattle and a grease trap in Thailand. These isolates represent a novel species phylogenetically related to Wickerhamiella verensis, Wickerhamiella osmotolerans, Wickerhamiella tropicalis, Wickerhamiella sorbophila and Wickerhamiella infanticola. The novel species differs by 15–30 nucleotide differences from these species in the D1/D2 sequences. The name Wickerhamiella martinezcruziae f.a., sp. nov. is proposed. The holotype of Wickerhamiella martinezcruziae sp. nov. is CBS 16104T. The MycoBank number is MB 839328.

“…Many studies have reported that yeast can be found in diverse habitats such as soil [1], sea [2], parts of plants [3], insects [4] and waste [5][6][7][8][9][10]. The waste habitat offers a variety of environments and nutrient content and therefore it has become an interesting resource due to the many novel yeasts that have been discovered there.…”

Two strains (DMKU-GTCP10-8 and CLIB 1740) representing a novel anamorphic yeast species were isolated from a grease sample collected from a grease trap in Thailand and from an unidentified fungus collected in French Guiana, respectively. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis based on the combined D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, Lachancea fermentati CBS 707T was the closely related species with 12.8 % sequence divergence (70 nucleotide substitutions and three gaps in 571 nucleotides) and 28.1 % sequence divergence (93 nucleotide substitutions and 90 gaps in 651 nucleotides) in the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene and the ITS region, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated sequences of the five genes including the small subunit rRNA gene, the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene, the ITS region, translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF1) and RNA polymerase II subunit 2 (RPB2) genes confirmed that the two strains (DMKU-GTCP10-8 and CLIB 1740) were well-separated from other described yeast genera in Saccharomycetaceae. Hence, Savitreea pentosicarens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these two strains as members of the family Saccharomycetaceae. The holotype is S. pentosicarens DMKU-GTCP10-8T (ex-type strain TBRC 12159=PYCC 8490; MycoBank number 835044).
