title: Ogataea thermophila sp. nov., the teleomorph of Candida thermophila.
abstract: Ascospore formation was observed in the type strain of Candida thermophila Shin K-S, Shin YK, Yoon and Park on some yeast sporulation media. In addition, a further sporulating strain was found that proved to be conspecific with C. thermophila on the basis of sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit (26S) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)1-5.8S rRNA gene - ITS2 region. Therefore, Ogataea thermophila Péter, Tornai-Lehoczki, Shin K-S & Dlauchy sp. nov. is proposed as the teleomorph of C. thermophila. The type strain is Y94(T)=JCM 10994(T)=KCCM 50661(T)=KCTC 17233(T).
