Description：
Growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone broth:
After 3 days at 25°C, the cells are ovoid , subglobose to ellipsoidal, (3.2 –6.4) × (4.0-8.0) µm, single, in pairs, in short chains and clusters, multilateral budding. Sediment is formed, but pellicle is absent.
Growth on glucose-yeast extract-peptone agar:
Aerobic growth is cream, butyrous, smooth, and glossy. Margin pulvinate with undulate or convex with entire.
Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar:
After 7 days at 25°C, hyphae are absent, rudimentary pseudohyphae are formed or not.
Formation of ascospores:
Ascus is formation by cell conjugation. One to four spores are formed per ascus. The spore is globose, spheroidal and smooth. The species appears homothallic.
