    Summary

    A novel yeast species, Pichia norvegensis, was identified as the sexual stage of Candida norvegensis. This yeast was isolated from human vaginal samples and exhibits unique metabolic capabilities, assimilating cellobiose.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Microbiology
    • Yeast Taxonomy

    Background:

    • Candida norvegensis is a known yeast species.
    • The sexual state of Candida norvegensis was previously undescribed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new yeast species, Pichia norvegensis, as the perfect state of Candida norvegensis.
    • To characterize the metabolic profile of this new yeast species.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation of yeast strains from human vaginal samples.
    • Phenotypic characterization including carbon assimilation tests.

    Main Results:

    • A new species, Pichia norvegensis, was described.
    • Strains were isolated from human vaginas on three separate occasions.
    • Pichia norvegensis uniquely assimilates cellobiose, differentiating it from related Pichia species.

    Conclusions:

    • Pichia norvegensis represents the sexual state of Candida norvegensis.
    • The ability to assimilate cellobiose is a key distinguishing feature of this new species.
