[A new yeast species, Candida aurita sp. nov., from oligotrophic bogs of Western Siberia].
Five anamorphous yeast strains of ascomycetous affinity with a specific mode of budding were isolated from raised bog soils of Bakcharskoe Bog (Tomsk oblast). According to their morphological and physiological properties, these strains belong to the genus Candida but differ from all species described previously. The level of DNA-DNA homology with species similar in the assimilation spectrum was as low as 7%. Based on these data, the new species Candida aurita sp. nov. is described.
