 Description: Growth in yeast extract-malt extract (YM) broth: After growth in YM broth at 25°C for 3 days, the cells are ovoidal to ellipsoidal, 2.7–5.2 × 3.0–6.3 μm, and occur singly or in pairs. Vegetative reproduction is accomplished by multilateral budding. Sediment is present. Growth on yeast extract-malt extract (YM) agar: After 7 days at 25 °C on YM agar, streak cultures are creamy, butyrous, smooth, and glistening. Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: On Dalmau plate cultures on corn meal agar after 10 days at 25 °C, neither pseudomycelium nor true mycelium is formed under the cover glass. Formation of ascospores: Sporulation occurs on McClary’s acetate agar and V8 agar, but not on YM agar, malt agar and corn meal agar after incubation at 18°C for 28 days. Asci may result from conjugation between independent cells. Ascospores are spheroidal (2.9–3.2 μm in diameter) with one or two per ascus.
