Cryptococcus arboriformis Sp. Nov., a Novel Anamorphic Basidiomycetous Yeast Species Isolated from a Patient's Urine

A basidiomycetous yeast strain isolated from the urine of a 73‐year‐old Japanese patient with chronic renal failure was revealed to be a novel species by sequencing the D1/D2 26S rDNA and ITS regions of the rRNA gene. The name Cryptococcus arboriformis sp. nov. is proposed for the isolate, with IFM...

Zusammenfassung:	A basidiomycetous yeast strain isolated from the urine of a 73‐year‐old Japanese patient with chronic renal failure was revealed to be a novel species by sequencing the D1/D2 26S rDNA and ITS regions of the rRNA gene. The name Cryptococcus arboriformis sp. nov. is proposed for the isolate, with IFM 54862T (=CBS 10441T =JCM 14201T) as the type strain. A phylogenetic analysis positioned Cryptococcus arboriformis in the Trichosporonales lineage and showed that it is closely related to C. haglerorum.
