title: Spencermartinsiella silvicolasp. nov., a yeast species isolated from rotting wood.
abstract: Three strains of a new xylanase-producing yeast species were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in the Atlantic Rain Forest of Brazil. The sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene showed that this novel yeast species belongs to the genusSpencermartinsiella, and its closest relatives among recognized species areSpencermartinsiella europaeaandSpencermartinsiella ligniputridi. A novel species, namedSpencermartinsiella silvicolasp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these isolates. The type strain is UFMG-CM-Y274T( = CBS 13490T). The MycoBank number is MB 813053. In addition,Candida cellulosicolais reassigned to the genusSpencermartinsiellaas a new combination.
