Abstract
This chapter studies the genus Lodderomyces. Asexual reproduction is by multilateral budding on a narrow base. Cells are spherical, ovoid, or elongate. True hyphae are not produced, but pseudohyphae are present. Pellicles are not formed on the surface of liquid media. In sexual reproduction it is found that asci are unconjugated, persistent, and produce one, or rarely two, ellipsoidal to elongate ascospores. The chapter also discusses physiology/biochemistry and phylogenetic placement of the genus. The type species taken is Lodderomyces elongisporus. In the systematic discussion of the species, synonyms, growth on 5% malt extract agar, growth on the surface of assimilation media, Dalmau plate culture on morphology agar, formation of ascospores, gene sequence accession numbers, type strain, origin of the strains studied, systematics, ecology, biotechnology, agriculture and food, and clinical importance are determined.
