　Description： Cell norphology on yeast extract-malt extract (YM) agar: After 3 days at 25 °C, the cells are subglobose (2.6-5.8 × 1.9-5.1 μm), single or in pairs. Vegetative reproduction is accomplished by multilateral budding. Colony morphology on yeast extract-malt extract (YM) agar: After 7 days at 25 °C, streak cultures are creamy, butyrous, smooth, glistening, convex and entire. 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, V8 agar, YM agar, 2% malt agar and corn meal agar after incubation at 18°C for 7 days. Asci may result from conjugation between individual cell and its bud. Ascospores are hat-shaped with one or two per ascus.
