Pseudozyma antarctica (S. Goto, Sugiyama & Iizuka) Boekhout, J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol., Tokyo 41(4): 364. 1995..
Description：
Growth on 5% malt extract agar: After five days at 20°C, cells are cylindrical to fusiform, with variable size, 1.8-2.4 × 5.0-8.1 μm. Conidiogenesis is polar on short denticles and has sympodial proliferation. Hyphae are abundant, 1.5-2.4 μm width and with sterigmata on which fusiform blastoconidia are formed. Colonies are dimorphic, with the smooth to somewhat irregularly furrowed, pale cream-white, and with the margin fringed. Slide culture on 5% malt extract agar: After five days at 20°C, cells are cylindrical to fusiform, with variable size, 3.6-16.9 × 1.5-3.1 μm. Conidiogenesis is polar on short denticles and with sympodial proliferation. Hyphae are abundant, 1.5-2.2 μm wide and with sterigmata on which fusiform blastoconidia are formed.
