Saturnispora hagleri sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from Drosophila flies in Atlantic rainforest in Brazil.
Six strains representing a novel yeast species belonging to the genus Saturnispora were isolated from two species of the Drosophila fasciola subgroup (Drosophila repleta group) in an Atlantic rainforest site in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Four strains were isolated from crops and one from external parts of Drosophila cardinae. The other strain was isolated from external parts of Drosophila fascioloides. Analysis of the D1/D2 large-subunit rDNA sequences indicated that the novel species is closely related to Saturnispora dispora. The name Saturnispora hagleri sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these strains. The type strain is UFMG-55(T) (=CBS 10007(T)=NRRL Y-27828(T)).
