Ogataea neopini sp. nov. and O. corticis sp. nov., with the emendation of the ascomycete yeast genus Ogataea, and transfer of Pichia zsoltii, P. dorogensis, and P. trehaloabstinens to it.

Abstract excerpt

During a survey of yeast strains having high conversion efficiency to ethanol from cellobiose, 'Ogataea pini' ATCC 28781 and 'Pichia pini' NBRC 1794 were found to be distinct from any known species and from each other by a BLAST homology search using the D1/D2 LSU rRNA gene sequences. The D1/D2 phylogeny showed that 'O. pini' ATCC 28781 and 'P. pini' NBRC 1794 belonged to the Ogataea cluster, whereas a comparison...
