Abstract

Two yeast strains, designated NYNU 22992 and NYNU 229246, were obtained from the phylloplane of Photinia bodinieri and Debregeasia orientalis in the Guiyang Medicinal Botanical Garden, Guizhou, China. Phylogenetic evaluation, incorporating concatenated ITS and D1/D2 LSU sequences, indicated a close relationship between these isolates and Farysia magdalena, Farysia itapuensis, Farysia taiwaniana and Farysia chardoniana. Sequence identity comparisons showed similarity levels of 99.7–98.2% for D1/D2 LSU and 96.8–94% for the ITS region. Minor physiological traits were noted, as these strains were unable to utilize xylitol, differentiating them from F. magdalena, F. itapuensis and F. taiwaniana. Physiological data for F. chardoniana were not available for comparison. Based on both phylogenetic positioning and phenotypic characteristics, these yeast strains represent a novel species within Farysia, for which the name Farysia photiniae sp. nov. is proposed with holotype GDMCC 2.322T (MycoBank MB 858491).
