need Schizosaccharomyces strains

[B. Franz Lang]

Hi,

can somebody help us out with Schizosaccharomyces strains.
We need a species which is phylogenetically not 'close' to 
S. pombe, e.g. at a distance somewhere between S. pombe
and S. octosporus. 
Also, if somebody can supply us with an 
S. japonicus isolate (which is most distant to S. pombe
among Schizosacharomyces relatives, as I understand), we 
would appreciate this a lot. ATCC does not seem to get 
this strain revived any longer. 

Thanks, Franz
