Five strains of thermotolerant methylotrophic yeasts isolated in Thailand were found to represent three new species in the genera Pichia and Candida, based on phylogenetic analysis of D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, in addition to the morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characterization. Three strains, FS96 and FS101 from flowers and M02 from tree flux, were characterized by ubiquinone Q7, multilateral budding, and the formation of hat-shaped ascospores that are liberated at maturation. These strains showed identical nucleotide sequences in the D1/D2 domain and formed a cluster with Candida thermophila, "Pichia salicis" and Pichia angusta. They differed by 1.9% of nucleotide substitutions from Candida thermophila, the nearest species. They were considered to represent a single new species and are described as Pichia siamensis sp. nov. Two strains, N051 and S023, isolated from soil did not produce ascospores, proliferated by multilateral budding, did not demonstrate urease or DBB color reaction, and lacked sexual stages. These characteristics correspond to the genus Candida. Strains N051 and S023 differed by 2.8% and 1.9% of nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domain from the nearest species, Candida nemodendra and Candida ovalis, respectively, and are considered to represent respective new species. N051 and S023 are described as Candida krabiensis sp. nov. and Candida sithepensis sp. nov., respectively.

The yeast strain (Y18) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Fildes Peninsula, Antarctica. The strain is a psychrophilic yeast with optimum and maximum growth temperatures of 10 degrees C and 18 degrees C, respectively. Teliospores were formed after 7 d on malt agar, when the germination of teliospores was observed. Both inositol and D-glucuronate were assimilated. Positive results of the DBB (diazonium blue B) color reaction, urease test, and starch formation were observed. The major CoQ is Q(8). All results indicated that Y18 belongs to the genes of Mrakia. The 18S rDNA sequence analyses showed that Y18 is closely related to Mrakia frigida. DNA-DNA relatedness study, and some biochemistry characteristics indicated that Y18 represents a new species for which Mrakia psychrophila sp. nov. is proposed.

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 of the ITS 1 and 2 regions sequences showed that the ATCC and NBRC strains each formed a species distinct from O. ganodermae, O. pini, O. henricii, and P. zsoltii, based on the D1/D2 sequence divergence. The ATCC and NBRC strains formed two to four hat-shaped ascospores and two to four, or more ones per deliquescent ascus, respectively, were negative for DBB and urease reactions, assimilated methanol slowly and nitrate not at all, and had the major ubiquinone system Q-7. These characteristics coincided basically with the definition of Ogataea proposed by Yamada et al. in 1994, excluding the number of ascospores. On the other hand, the ATCC and NBRC strains differed not only from each other but from relatives in various phenotypic characteristics. These differences suggest that two new yeasts of Ogataea be described as novel. The new species and their type strains are as follows: O. neopini ATCC 28781(T); and O. corticis NBRC 1794(T). In addition, the emendation of the genus Ogataea is made; besides, we propose the transfer of P. zsoltii, P. dorogensis, and P. trehaloabstinens, which were placed in the Ogataea cluster based on the D1/D2 sequence analysis, to the genus Ogataea as O. zsoltii comb. nov., O. dorogensis comb. nov., and O. trehaloabstinens comb. nov.
