Abstract
This chapter studies the genus Nakazawaea. In the determination of the asexual reproduction, it is found that yeast cells arise by multilateral budding on a narrow base. Cells are ellipsoidal to elongate. Pseudohyphae are abundant and well branched, and true hyphae are also formed. In sexual reproduction it is seen that the single known species, N. holstii, is heterothallic, and only asporogenous haploid strains have been isolated from nature. Asci form following conjugation between complementary mating types and produce two to four hat-shaped ascospores. Asci become deliquescent at maturity. The chapter also discusses physiology/biochemistry and phylogenetic placement of the genus. The type species taken is Nakazawaea holstii. In the systematic discussion of the species, anamorph, 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, cell carbohydrates, origin of the strains studied, complementary mating types, and ecology are determined.
