Description
Sugitazyma is a genus of basidiomycetous yeasts with only one known species, Sugitazyma miyagiana. To further explore the diversity of this genus, field surveys were conducted in Guizhou and Hainan Provinces, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene revealed that four isolates from plant leaves, represent two new species of Sugitazyma: Sugitazyma polliae sp. nov. (holotype strain GDMCC 2.527T) and Sugitazyma pingtangensis sp. nov. (holotype strain CICC 33642T). Descriptions and illustrations of the two new species are provided, together with comparisons with closely related taxa. A key to the species of Sugitazyma is also presented.
