title: Lindnera rhizosphaerae sp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rhizospheric soil.
abstract: Two strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from ectomycorrhizal Nothofagus pumilio rhizospheric soil in a native forest of Patagonia, Argentina. Analysis of the D1/D2 large-subunit rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel species belongs to the recently described genus Lindnera. The name Lindnera rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these isolates, and the type strain is CRUB 1796(T) ( = CBS 11400(T)  = JCM 16499(T)).
