MycoBank MB 832545
Holotype: China, Motuo, Tibet, obtained from a leaf of Achyrospermum wallichianum, Sep. 2014, Q.-M. Wang (holotype CGMCC 2.5816T preserved in a metabolically inactive state, extype CBS 15591 = XZ119B3).
Morphological description
Culture characteristics: In YM broth, after 7 d at 17 °C, cells are ovoid and ellipsoidal, 2.2–3.0 × 3.7–5.3 μm and single, budding is polar (Fig. 14P), a sediment is present. After 1 mo at 17 °C, a ring and a sediment are present. One or more conidia are produced on each stalk-like conidiophore. Conidiophore is single or multiple, usually bifurcate, somewhat trifurcate. On YM agar, after 1 mo at 17 °C, the streak culture is yellowish-cream, butyrous, smooth and glossy. The margin is entire. In Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, pseudohyphae are not formed.
Sexual structures are not observed on YM, PDA, V8 and CM agar. Ballistoconidia are not produced.
Habitat: a leaf of Achyrospermum wallichianum.
Distribution: Motuo, Tibet, China.
