On the basis of genetic analysis, molecular karyotyping and sequence analys
es of the 18S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, three new
Saccharomyces species are described, Saccharomyces cariocanus (with type st
rain NCYC 2890(T)), Saccharomyces kudriavzevii (with type strain NCYC 2889(
T)) and Saccharomyces mikatae (with type strain NCYC 2888(T)). Genetic and
molecular analyses did not confirm the previously observed conspecificity o
f Saccharomyces paradoxus and S. cariocanus. The latter species exhibits po
stzygotic isolation from representative strains from all known geographical
populations of S. paradoxus: European. Far-East Asian, North American and
Hawaiian.
