| Title | Begerowomyces aurantius sp. nov., a novel yeast isolated from koalas' habitat in a Japanese zoological park. |

| Abstract |
Koalas are iconic mammals indigenous to Australia. These rare animals and their habitats are occasionally associated with pathogenic fungi, including species of Cryptococcus, and consequently, monitoring the mycobiota of areas inhabited by koalas is of considerable importance. In this report, we describe a novel basidiomycetous yeast isolated from a site in Kanazawa Zoo, Japan, associated with captive koalas. Swab samples were collected from koala breeding environments, from which we isolated a novel unencapsulated yeast characterized by ovoid to ellipsoidal cells (3.2-4.9 × 3.5-5 μm). These cells were observed to undergo polar budding and grow as parent bud pairs, with an optimal growth temperature of 28°C. Colonies grown on yeast extract peptone dextrose agar at 28°C have a characteristic coral pink color. On the basis of physiological, morphological, and molecular characters, the new species was placed in the genus Begerowomyces, and the name Begerowomyces aurantius JCM33898T(LSEM1333T=CBS16241T) is proposed. |
