title: Candida mengyuniae sp. nov., a metsulfuron-methyl-resistant yeast.
abstract: A metsulfuron-methyl-resistant yeast strain, JHL(T), was isolated from metsulfuron-methyl-contaminated soil collected in Jiangsu Province, China. Through morphological and physiological analysis as well as a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 region and internal transcribed spacer (ITS), this strain, which forms a clade with Candida vartiovaarae and a teleomorphic species, Williopsis saturnus, was revealed to represent a novel species in the genus Candida. The name Candida mengyuniae sp. nov. (type strain JHL(T)=CGMCC 2.3681(T)=CBS 10845(T)) is proposed for this novel species.
