Mastigobasidium, a new teleomorphic genus for the perfect state of ballistosporous yeast Bensingtonia intermedia Golubev, Wladyslav I.,, 49, 1301-1305 (1999), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-49-3-1301, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A new genus, Mastigobasidium, is proposed for teliospore-forming, xylose-lacking, ballistosporogenous, glucuronate-positive yeasts. The distinguishing features of the genus are: Germination of the teliospore by several long aseptate hyphae; curved phragmometabasidia development on the apices of these hyphae; and production of basidiospores on a peg in clusters. The type strain of heterothallic, nitrate-negative species Mastigobasidium intermedium is VKM Y-2720T (Bullera intermedia type strain) and the allotype strain is VKM Y-2727AL (Sporobolomyces weijmanii type strain)., language=, type=
