Abstract

Two strains of an undescribed species of the genusKluyveromyces were recovered from the rhizosphere of spruce. A description of the new species,Kluyveromyces piceae, is given and its classification on basis of ascospore shape, substrate utilization, G + C-content, DNA-DNA-reassociation data and habitat specifity is discussed.
