Figure 1.Nakazawaea Neighbor-Joining Phylogenetic tree.Phylogeny was built based on the combined sequences of the SSU rRNA gene, the ITS region (including 5.8S rRNA) and the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA genes of the genus Nakazawaea . Bootstrap values are indicated on the nodes as percentages of 1,000 replicates. The alignment included 1,895 bp and was performed with MUSCLE. Pachysolen tannophiluswas was used as an outgroup. The distance metric is the number of substitutions. Bar, 20 substitutions per site.
Figure 2. Differential interference contrast micrograph of budding cells of Nakazawaea atacamensis sp. nov. Micrograph of budding cells grown in YPD broth after 3 days at 25°C. Bars: 5 μm. This image was obtained using differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy.

KEGG distribution based on gene prediction using KofamKOALA. B. KEGG enrichment analysis of the carbohydrate metabolism pathways. C. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree using the 15 currently available genomes in the Nakazawaea genus. Pachysolen tannophilus was used as an outgroup.
