Abstract
This chapter studies the genus Kodamaea. In the determination of asexual reproduction, budding is multilateral on a narrow base, and some species form buds at the end of a short protuberance. The cells range from ellipsoidal to elongate. Pseudohyphae and true hyphae may be formed. In sexual reproduction it is seen that asci arise by transformation of diploid cells or by conjugation of independent cells. One member of the conjugated pair is usually cylindrical and the other swells and contains one to four hat-shaped or globose ascospores. Ascospores may be released by deliquescence of the ascus. This study further examines the physiology, biochemistry, and phylogenetic placement. The type of species mentioned is Kodamaea ohmeri. The species accepted are Kodamaea anthophila, Kodamaea kakaduensis, Kodamaea laetipori, Kodamaea nitidulidarum, and Kodamaea ohmeri. The systematic discussion of the species includes growth on YM agar, growth in glucose-yeast extract broth, Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, formation of ascospores, CoQ, Mol% G1C, gene sequence accession number, type strain, cell carbohydrates, origin of the strains studied, complementary mating types, systematics, biotechnology, agriculture and food, and clinical importance.
