Abstract
This chapter discusses the genus Nakaseomyces. Cells are ovoid, ellipsoid, or elongate. Neither pseudohyphae nor true hyphae are produced. In sexual reproduction it is found that asci arise directly from diploid cells or from the conjugation of haploid cells in the same culture. Four or occasionally six to eight bacilliform or reniform ascospores are formed. The spores are liberated from the ascus and tend to agglutinate. The chapter also discusses physiology/biochemistry and phylogenetic placement of the genus. The type species taken is Nakaseomyces delphensis. The key characters of Nakaseomyces species are presented. In the systematic discussion of the species, synonyms, growth on YM agar, growth in glucose-yeast extract broth, Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, formation of ascospores, gene sequence accession number, type strain, origin of the strains studied, and systematics are determined.
