Basidiomycetous Yeasts

  • Chapter
Systematics and Evolution

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 7B))

Abstract

Yeast phases were first observed among the smuts and jelly fungi by Brefeld (1881, 1888, 1895a,b) and Möller (1895). Subsequently, the resemblance of the Sporobolomyces ballistoconidia to actively discharged basidiospores led Kluyver and van Niel (1924, 1927) to suggest that Sporobolomyces is a basidiomycete. The most conclusive evidence of a basidiomycete connection was the discovery of mating and a sexual state in strains of Rhodotorula glutinis by Banno (1963, 1967), followed by discoveries of sexual states in numerous other species that resulted in the descriptions of genera such as Rhodosporidium, Leucosporidium, Sporidiobolus, Filobasidium, Filobasidiella, Cystofilobasidium, and Bulleromyces.
