title: The phylogeny of Yamadazyma ohmeri (Etchells et Bell) Billon-Grand based on the partial sequences of 18S and 26S ribosomal RNAs: the proposal of Kodamaea gen. nov. (Saccharomycetaceae).
abstract: Two strains of Yamadazyma ohmeri were examined for their 18S and 26S rRNA partial base sequences. The two strains had identical or very similar partial base sequences to those of the type strain. All the three strains of Y. ohmeri were phylogenetically separated from any other accepted species of the genera Yamadazyma, Debaryomyces, Pichia, Williopsis, Metschnikowia, and Clavispora. Based on the sequence data obtained and the phenotypic characteristics, Kodamaea gen. nov. was proposed for the species.
