Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov., a Genomically Distinct, Flower‐Associated Yeast, Resistant to Azoles and Exhibiting Pathogenicity‐Related Traits Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov. represents a distinct species within the Candidozyma clade, supported by multilocus phylogeny, genome-scale metrics, and phenotypic traits. Although isolated from flo...

A new #Yeast has been discovered by Carlos Rosa, Susana Johann & team: Candidozyma cisalpinoae. The new species is resistant to azoles, shows other virulence-associated traits and was isolated from Ipomoea flowers in the Tocantins state, Brazil 🌸 🇧🇷
