During the investigation of natural yeast strains utilizing D-xylose as the sole carbon source, eight strains isolated from decayed wood were found to represent two novel anamorphic, ascomycetous yeast species based on sequence analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and phenotypic characterization. The names Candida laoshanensis sp. nov. (type strain MLRW 6-2T = AS 2.4030T = CBS 11389T) and Candida qingdaonensis sp. nov. (type strain MLRW 7-1T = AS 2.4031T = CBS 11390T) are proposed for them. The close relatives of the two new species are Candida pomicola and Candida marilandica, respectively.
