Growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone broth:
After 3 days at 25°C, the cells are ovoid, elongate to cylindrical, (2.4 -3.2) × (4.0-8.0) µm, single, in pairs, short chain, multilateral budding.
Growth on glucose-yeast extract-peptone agar:
Aerobic growth is white to cream, butyrous, rough, glistening and flat with filamentous margin.
Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar:
After 7 days at 25°C, growth under the coverglass shows abundant true hyphae with conidia. Pseudohyphae are formed.
Formation of ascospores:
The species appears heterothallic. Asci are ellipsoidal and either borne directly on hyphae or supported by short stalks. Chains of two to four asci formed. Asci form two ascospores and about half of the asci eventually deliquesce. Ascospores are elongated, usually slightly flattened, have a roughened surface, and a median longitudinal ledge.
