Abstract
Two strains of a novel teleomorphic basidiomycete were isolated from grassland soil. Standard phenotypic tests and phylogenetic analyses of 26S rRNA gene (D1/D2 domains) and ITS region sequences showed that the species belongs to the core group of the genus Leucosporidium. A novel species, Leucosporidium drummii sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate the two strains, with SEG-3-2-AY220(T) (=CBS 11562(T)=MUCL 52878(T)) as the type strain. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed great genetic variability in the Leucosporidium scottii complex.
