Hanseniaspora pseudoguilliermondii is a species of yeast in the family Saccharomycetaceae. Originally isolated from orange juice concentrate, it has been found on fruit and fruit juices in locations around the world. It has also been observed forming hybrids with Hanseniaspora opuntiae.
A sample of H. pseudoguilliermondii was first isolated from orange juice concentrate in Georgia, USA.[2] It was studied in 2003 by Neža Čadež, Gé A. Poot, Peter Raspor, and Maudy Th. Smith, who found that it could not be distinguished from Hanseniaspora guilliermondii using physiological criteria.[2] After further testing in 2006, Čadež, Raspor, and Smith offered a description of the species, based upon DNA testing, that they called Hanseniaspora pseudoguilliermondii.[1] The specific epithet "pseudoguilliermondii" was chosen because the species is similar to H. guilliermondii.[1]
