title: Kluyveromyces piceae sp. nov., a new yeast species isolated from the rhizosphere of Picea abies (L.) Karst.
abstract: Two strains of an undescribed species of the genus Kluyveromyces were recovered from the rhizosphere of spruce. A description of the new species, Kluyveromyces piceae, is given and its classification on basis of ascospore shape, substrate utilization, G+C-content, DNA-DNA-reassociation data and habitat specificity is discussed.
