RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Golubev, Wladyslav I.YR 1999 T1 Mastigobasidium, a new teleomorphic genus for the perfect state of ballistosporous yeast Bensingtonia intermedia JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 49 IS 3 SP 1301 OP 1305 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-49-3-1301 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB 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)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-49-3-1301
