Abstract
This chapter studies the genus Sympodiomycopsis. In the asexual reproduction colonies on malt agar are dull and cream colored. Reproduction is mainly by enteroblastic and annellidic budding and rarely by holoblastic and sympodial budding. Cells are obclavate or obovoid. True hyphae may be present. Sexual reproduction is unknown. The chapter also discusses physiology/biochemistry and phylogenetic placement of the genus. The type species taken is Sympodiomycopsis paphiopedili. In the systematic discussion of the species, growth in 5% malt extract broth, growth on 5% malt extract agar, Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, gene sequence accession numbers, type strain, systematics, and origin of the strain studied are determined. Sympodiomycopsis paphiopedili usually grows as a yeast state, although it also has a hyphal state. Morphologically, S. paphiopedili is similar to Blastobotrys parvus, which is characterized by a yeast state and an inconspicuous hyphal state.
