TAKE AWAY
- A novel species, Nakazawaea atacamensis sp. nov., was isolated
from Neltuma chilensis (Algarrobo) samples in the Atacama
Desert of Chile
- The sequence identity of N. atacamensis differs from closely
related species by 6% to 10% in the SSU rRNA, ITS region, and D1/D2
LSU rRNA concatenated sequences.
- N. atacamensis exhibited the capacity to ferment synthetic wine
must, suggesting its potential for wine fermentations.
