Abstract: Torulaspora ventriculi f.a. M. Silva, F. Paraíso & J.P. Sampaio, sp. nov. MB 853986. Fig. 4 AA. Etymology: Torulaspora ventriculi. ven.tri’cu.li, L. gen. n. ventriculi, of the ventriculus, referring to the digestive tract, the habitat where several strains of this species were found. Typus: Mozambique, Vila Cabral, human faeces, 1958, N. van Uden (holotype PYCC 2995H, ex-holotype cultures PYCC 2995, CBS 4887). The holotype is permanently maintained in a metabolically inactive state in the Portuguese Yeast Culture Collection, Caparica, Portugal. The genome of this species was deposited at DDBJ /ENA/GenBank under the accession GCA_964263485. The version described in this paper is v. 1. Description: After 1 wk on YM agar at 25 °C, cultures are smooth, cream-coloured, and butyrous. After 3 d of growth on YM agar at 25 °C, cells are globose (2–5 µm) and occur singly or in pairs, and proliferation is by multilateral budding (Fig. 4 AA). On Dalmau plates after 2 wk at 25 °C, no pseudohyphae nor true hyphae are formed. Sexual reproduction was not observed on acetate agar or corn meal agar after prolonged incubation (3 mo) at 18 °C. The physiological and biochemical profile of the species in shown in Table 1 and Table S5. Habitat and distribution: This species was found in soil and faeces (human and hippopotamus). Currently known from collections in Mozambique (Vila Cabral and Incomati River) and Papua New Guinea. Additional cultures examined: CBS 2947, PYCC 2996, PYCC 2997 (see Table S1 for details).
