Ogataea
''Ogataea'' is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae. It was separated from the former genus '' Hansenula'' via an examination of their 18S and 26S rRNA partial base sequencings by Yamada et al. 1994.Y. Yamada, K. Maeda, K. Mikata: ''The phylogenetic relationships of the hat-shaped ascospore-forming, nitrate-assimilating Pichia species, formerly classified in the genus Hansenula Sydow et Sydow, based on the partial sequences of 18S and 26S ribosomal RNAs (Saccharomycetaceae): the proposal of three new genera, Ogataea, Kuraishia, and Nakazawaea.'' Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry 58, 1994, 1245–1257. . The genus name of ''Ogataea'' is in honour of Koichi Ogata (x - 1977), who was a Japanese microbiologist from the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, at Kyoto University. It was stated in the journal; "The genus is named in honor of the late Professor Dr. Koichi Ogata, Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Faculty of Agr ...
