Abstract
A yeast strain isolated from insect frass collected in Thailand was found to represent a new species of the genus Pichia. It is described as Pichia nongkratonensis sp. nov. In the phylogenetic tree based on the D1/D2 domain sequences of 26S rDNA, this yeast constitutes a cluster with Pichia dryadoides with high bootstrap confidence level; however, it differs from the latter species by 5.6% base substitutions. Pichia nongkaratonensis resembles P. dryadoides also in the phenotypic characteristics but is distinguished from this species by the assimilation of several carbon and nitrogen compounds.
