Kuraishia is a genus of two species of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae. The type species Kuraishia capsulata was originally described as a member of Hansenula (now Pichia) in 1953.
The genus name of Kuraishia is in honour of Hiroshi Kuraishi, Japanese (Micro-)Biologist (Mycology and Lichenology), from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.[2]
K. molischiana was described as new to science in 2004.[3] The complete genome sequence of K. capsulata was reported in 2013.[4] K. capsulata produces extracellular exopolysahharide, phosphomannan, as an external phosphorus reserve.[5]
