Abstract
This chapter studies the genus Fellomyces. In the determination of the asexual reproduction it is seen that cells are spherical or ellipsoidal and reproduce by enteroblastic budding and by formation of blastoconidia on stalk-like conidiophores. The blastoconidia are freed by an end-break in the stalk-like conidiophores without forceful ejection. True hyphae may or may not be produced. Ballistoconidia are not formed. Sexual reproduction is unknown. The chapter also discusses physiology/biochemistry and phylogenetic placement of the genus. The type species taken is Fellomyces polyborus. The key characters of species assigned to the genus Fellomyces are also discussed. In the systematic discussion of the species, growth on malt extract agar, growth in malt extract, Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, gene sequence accession numbers, type strain, origin of the strains studied, and systematics are determined.
