Pseudozyma pruni sp. nov., a novel ustilaginomycetous anamorphic fungus from flowers in Taiwan.
Two ustilaginomycetous anamorphic strains were isolated from flowers in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the combined rRNA gene sequence of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1)-5.8S-ITS2 and large-subunit D1/D2 domains indicated that the closest recognized species was Pseudozyma fusiformata. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological characteristics showed that the two strains represent a novel species within the genus Pseudozyma. The name Pseudozyma pruni sp. nov. is proposed, with FIRDI 005(T) (=BCRC 34227(T) =CBS 10937(T)) as the type strain.
