title: Bullera koratensis sp. nov. and Bullera lagerstroemiae sp. nov., two new ballistoconidium-forming yeast species in the Trichosporonales clade isolated from plant leaves in Thailand.
abstract: Seven strains of ballistoconidiogenous yeasts that contain xylose, form Q-10 ubiquinone, propagate by budding and don't produce stalk conidia were isolated from plant leaves collected in Thailand and were found to represent two new species. The taxonomic properties of the two species coincided with the genus Bullera so they are described as Bullera koratensis sp. nov. and Bullera lagerstroemiae sp. nov. In phylogenetic trees based on the nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA and the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, these two species are located in the Trichosporonales clade (Cryptococcus humicola-Trichosporon lineage).
