Resumen:
A novel anamorphic yeast species belonging to the genus Candida has been isolated from cellar surfaces in North Patagonia. Morphological and physiological observation and phylogeneticanalysis were performed. Pseudomycelium was plentifully produced. No sexual reproductionwas observed. From sequence analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 region, Candida bituminiphilaand Zygoascus hellenicus were the closest species with 40 and 79 bp substitutions, respectively.C. bituminiphila differed physiologically from the novel species in its ability to assimilate sucrose and erythritol, in not fermenting any sugars, in growing without some vitamin compounds, and in growing at 40ºC. All these data support the hypothesis that the new yeast, named Candida patagonica, is a novel species related to C. bituminiphila. The type strain is UNCOMA 159.5 (= CECT 12029 = CBS 10443).
