Three species of yeasts are taxonomically described for strains isolated from marine environments. Candida spencermartinsiae sp. nov. (type strain CBS 10894T =NRRL Y-48663T) and Candida taylorii sp. nov. (type strain CBS 8508T =NRRL Y-27213T) are anamorphic ascomycetous yeasts in a phylogenetic cluster of marine yeasts in the Debaryomyces/Lodderomyces clade of the Saccharomycetales. The two spe...

Dermatophytoses are superficial infections of keratinized tissues like hair, skin and nail, caused by a specialized group of fungi closely related antigenically, physiologically and morphologically, known as dermatophytes or ringworm fungi (Rabell and Taplin, 1974). The etiologic agents of the dermatophytoses are classified in three anamorphic (asexual or imperfect) genera, Epidermophyton, Micr...

South Korea is covered primarily by temperate vegetation; therefore, foliicolous lichens may not be expected to play an important role in its lichen flora. However, this study describes four foliicolous lichen species, Strigula concreta, S. macrocarpa, S. melanobapha, and S. subelegans, which are new to South Korea. These findings will lead to further research on foliicolous lichens and provide...
