A new subclade of haplontic Metschnikowia species associated with insects of morning glory flowers in Africa and description of Metschnikowia aberdeeniae sp. nov.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The novel species Metschnikowia aberdeeniae is described to accommodate five isolates recovered from insects of morning glory flowers in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. On the basis of rDNA ITS and D1/D2 large-subunit sequences, these yeasts form, together with six other isolates, a novel subclade of large-spored Metschnikowia species. The exact position of the subclade within the Metschnikowiaceae cannot be determined with any confidence from these sequences or from small-subunit rDNA sequences, as the variable sites of the sequences are excessively divergent. However, in morphological and physiological terms, the novel isolates are typical of the genus Metschnikowia in general and of the large-spored group in particular. The type strain of Metschnikowia aberdeeniae sp. nov. is strain SUB 05-213.1T (=CBS 10289T=NRRL Y-27921T) (h-) and the allotype is strain SUB 05-213.2 (=CBS 10290=NRRL Y-27922) (h+).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
