 Description: Growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone broth: After 3 days at 25°C, the cells are globose to ellipsoidal, (2.4-4.8) × (2.4-6.4) µm, single, and in pairs, multilateral budding. Growth on glucose-yeast extract-peptone agar: Aerobic growth is white, butyrous, smooth, glistening and convex with entire margin. Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: After 7 days at 25°C, primary pseudohyphae are formatted. Formation of ascospores: Culture on Kleyn’s medium after 7 days at 20°C, conjugation between a cell and its bud precedes ascus formation. One spheroidal spore is formed per ascus.

 Note: The variety fabryi can be physiologically distinguished from the variety hansenii only by maximum growth temperature. The maximum growth temperature of the variety fabryi is 35-37°C, whereas that of the variety hansenii is 29-31°C. Anamorph of variety hansenii was Candida famata (Harrison) S.A. Mey. & Yarrow var. famata (1978). Anamorph of variety fabryi was Candida famata (Harrison) S.A. Mey. & Yarrow var. flareri (1978).
