Table 6.
Different Reproduction Mode of Yeast | Morphology Characteristics of Yeast |
---|---|
Vegetative or asexual reproduction | Budding: new cell is produced on the surface of parent cell and then separate Fission: an asexual cell is produced by a septum grown inward from cell wall to halve the long axis of the cell. Blastoconidiation: a mother cell of stalk-like tubular sterigmata produce a terminal conidium |
Sexual reproduction in ascomycetous yeast | Parent cell-bud conjugation Gametangial conjugation Heterothallism conjugation Conjugation between hyphae |
Sexual reproduction in basidiomycetous yeast | Budding haplophase Dikaryotic hyphal phase or self-spore forming diplophase |
