Nakazawaea is a genus of yeast in the order Alaninales. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is not fully unknown ( incertae sedis ). [2]

Contents

In 2022, DNA analysis of Saccharomycotina yeasts noted that Peterozyma toletana, Peterozyma tannophilus and Nakazawaea holstii are in a monophyletic sister clade to the Pichiaceae family. [3]

Originally, a monotypic genus containing the single species Nakazawaea holstii but Nakazawaea siamensis was added in 2011. [4] With further others added later. [5]

The genus name of Nakazawaea is in honour of Dr. Ryoji Nakazawa, who was a Japanese microbiologist and Director of the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka, Japan, in recognition of his contributions to yeast taxonomy. [6]

The genus was circumscribed by Yuzo Yamada, Kojiro Maeda and Kozaburo Mikata in Biosc., Biotechn. Biochem. vol.58 (Issue 7) on page 1256 in 1994. [1]

Species

As accepted by GBIF; [5]

Uses

Nakazawaea molendini-olei is found in the yeast of Black olive pomace (remains), and is used to make oleuropein. [7]
