Abstract

Two ascomycetous yeast strains have been isolated near Novosibirsk from oak exudate. The strains have been identified as Saccharomyces paradoxus Bachinskaya based on the results of biochemical tests. The conspecificity of the isolates with S. paradoxus was confirmed by electrophoretic karyotyping and restriction analysis of the ITS region of its rDNA. This first isolation of S. paradoxus in Siberia provides evidence for the continuity of its natural habitats.
