Description of Candida saitoana YL 9

Cells are oval shaped, and budding is polar ( Fig. 1 ). Colonies are convex, smooth, and white colored after 3 days of incubation on YNB agar at 10℃. In the API 20C AUX, strain YL9 is positive for glucose, 2-keto-D- gluconate (w), D- xylose, D- galactose, inositol, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine (w), D- cellobiose, D- lactose (bovine origin) (w), D- maltose, D- saccharose (sucrose), D- melezitose, and D- raffinose; but negative for glycerol, L- arabinose, adonitol, xylitol, D- sorbitol, N -methyl-D- glucoside, and D- trehalose. Strain YL9 (KACC 49811) was isolated from the soil collected in Gyeongju city, South Korea.
