Abstract

A new species of basidiomycetous yeast Leucosporidium fellii was isolated from soil in Portugal on a selective L(+)-tartaric acid medium. This yeast is self-sporulating but forms dikaryotic hyphae with clamp connections and is presumably homothallic. It differs from the type strain of Leucosporidium scottii in its life cycle, assimilation pattern and guanine-cytosine content and from the other described Leucosporidium species by additional characteristics.
