The colony surface is smooth and has a pasty texture. [1] [10] There is considerable cell and colony morphology when S. salmonicolor is grown in culture. [6] The budding yeast-like cells produced during the asexual stage are ellipsoidal to subcylindrical and 8–25 × 2–5.5 μm. They can occur singly or in pairs.
At 37 °C (99 °F) either in the laboratory or in host tissue, S. schenckii assumes its yeast form. Macroscopically, the yeast form grows as smooth white or off-white colonies. Microscopically, yeast cells are 2 to 6 μm long and show an elongated cigar-shaped morphology. [1]
Examining colonial morphology is the first step in the identification of an unknown microbe. The systematic assessment of the colonies' appearance, focusing on aspects like size, shape, colour, opacity, and consistency, provides clues to the identity of the organism, allowing microbiologists to select appropriate tests to provide a definitive ...
Rhodotorula glutinis is an aerobic yeast characterized by pink, smooth colonies with a moist appearance. [2] Reproduction is typically by multipolar budding although pseudohyphae are occasionally produced. Sexual reproduction is by basidiospores arising from a teliospore developed from a mycelial clamp connection. [2]
Brettanomyces is a non-spore forming genus of yeast in the family Saccharomycetaceae, and is often colloquially referred to as "Brett".The genus name Dekkera is used interchangeably with Brettanomyces, as it describes the teleomorph or spore forming form of the yeast, but is considered deprecated under the one fungus, one name change.
Kluyveromyces marxianus in ascomycetous yeast and member of the genus, Kluyveromyces. It is the sexual stage (teleomorph) of Atelosaccharomyces pseudotropicalis [1] also known as Candida kefyr. [2] This species has a homothallic mating system and is often isolated from dairy products. [3]
[5] [10] As the morphology properties of Zygosaccharomyces are identical to other yeast genera such as Saccharomyces, Candida and Pichia, it is impossible to differentiate Zygosaccharomyces from other yeasts or individual species within the genus based on macroscopic and microscopic morphology observations.

The colonies of C. pallescens differ in morphology depending on the growth medium used. On Czapek Yeast Extract Agar (CYA), colonies of C. pallescens are 50-65mm in diameter. [5] On Malt Extract Agar (MEA), the colonies are fuzzy in texture, and pale grey to grey in colour. On the reverse side, they appear brown to dark brown.
