Description：
Growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone broth:
After 3 days at 25°C, the cells are ovoidal to ellipsoidal, (2.0 –6.0) × (3.0-9.0) µm, single, in pairs, in short chains and clusters, multilateral budding. Sediment is formed.
Growth on glucose-yeast extract-peptone agar:
Aerobic growth is cream, butyrous, smooth or rough, glossy or dull and convex with entire or crenate margin.
Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar:
After 7 days at 25°C, growth under the coverglass show branched, but not poorly differentiated pseudohyphae. True hyphae are not found.
Formation of ascospores:
Asci are persistent and form one to four spheroidal to ovoidal ascospores. Ascosporulation may be preceded by cell conjugation.
