Abstract
All known species of Prototheca and one new species were isolated from slime flux of woody stems. Fortyfive trees (11 species) harbored Prototheca spp. Monthly quantitative studies of slime flux from 10 trees of Ulmus amencana revealed that 6 harbored a new species, P. ulmea, often in large numbers (1×105 colony forming units ml−1 slime flux). In total, P. ulmea was isolated from 17 elms and one oak from three states in the U.S.A. In spite of this extensive association, no causal relationship has been established.
