Description of Leucosporidium scottii NH 19

Cells are oval shaped and budding is polar ( Fig. 1 ). Colonies are convex, smooth, and beige-colored after 3 days of incubation on YM agar at 10℃. In the API 20C AUX test, strain NH19 is positive for glycerol, 2-keto-D- gluconate, L- arabinose, and adonitol; weak positive for glucose, D- xylose, D- sorbitol, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- cellobiose, D- lactose (bovine origin), D- maltose, and D- melezitose; and negative for xylitol, D- galactose, inositol, N -methyl-D- glucoside, D- saccharose (sucrose), D- trehalose, and D- raffinose.

Strain NH 19 ( KCTC 37092 ) was isolated from the soil collected in Namhansanseong Forest , Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea .
