<unk>  reproduces asexually by the production of blastoconidia through budding. As blastoconidia increase in number they may elongate in shape producing structures called the pseudohyphae. Under specific conditions of reduced oxygen level in host tissues, submerged colonies in agar medium, or in the presence of 5-10% CO2, true, septate hyphae may form. Physiological characteristics of<unk>  Growth * Positive for C1 D-glucose, C2 D-glucose, C6 D-xylose, C11 Maltose, C12 α,α-trehalose, C22 Starch, C28 D-glucitol, C29 D-mannitol, C32 D-glucono-1,5-lactone, C33 2-keto-d-gluconate, C34 5-keto-d-gluconate, C39 succinate, C42 ethanol, N3 ethylamine, N4 L-lysine, N4 cadaverine, V2 without myo-inositol, V3 without pantothenate, V5 without thiamine, V7 without pyridoxine, V9 without niacin, V10 without PABA, O1 0.01% cycloheximide, O2 0.1% cycloheximide. * Positive temperatures from . Fermentation * positive for F1 D-glucose, F2 D-glucose, F3 Maltose * positive delay after 7 days for F6 α,α-trehalose. * negative for F7 Melibiose, F8 Lactose, F9 Cellobiose, F11 Raffinose, F12 Inulin, F14 D-xylose. * negative delay after 7 days for F4 Me-α-D-glucoside, F10 Melezitose. * positive and negative for F5 Sucrose and F13 Starch. Urea hydrolysis This test is to detect yeast’s ability to produce enzyme urease. Once there's a compatible substrate, urease will split urea to produce ammonia increasing the pH.<unk>  is found to be urease negative. Diazonium Blue B Test This test uses the azo dye, diazonium blue B which differentially stains cells from species affiliated with the Division, Basidiomycota. For<unk> , this test is negative.
