See text The Wickerhamomycetaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales that reproduce by budding.
[1] Beneficially, various Wickerhamomyces species have been used in a number of biotechnologically applications, such as in the environment, food, beverage industries, (including wine making,[2] ) biofuel, medicine and agriculture.
Pseudohyphae and true hyphae (a long, branching, filamentous structure) are produced by some species.
Asci may be persistent or deliquescent and form one to four ascospores that may be hat-shaped or spherical with an equatorial ledge.
[1] It can be found in soils, on plant material (such as phylloplane of rice,[4]) and also as an opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals.
