title: Pichia (Komagataella) pseudopastoris sp. nov., a new yeast species from Hungary.
abstract: Four strains of an unknown yeast species were isolated from rotten willow samples which were collected in Hungary. Although their phenotypic characteristics suggested that they were conspecific with Pichia pastoris, investigation of their small (18S) and large (26S) subunit rDNA revealed that they belonged to an undescribed yeast species. The description of the new yeast species, Pichia (Komagataella) pseudopastoris is given.
