Answer 1

Schizosaccharomyces octosporus

Schizosaccharomyces octosporus is an example of a fission yeast, which also readily produce asci and ascospores in vitro. This differs from S. cerevisiae, however, in that it is homothallic and has a zygotic life cycle, which is typical of most fungi. Thus, any two yeast cells of this species can fuse to produce a zygote. Once the zygote is formed, it immediately undergoes meiosis. this is followed by a mitotic division, with each nucleus becoming an ascospore. The old zygote cell wall becomes the ascus (.

Figure 6-7: Schizosaccharomyces octosporus. Figure 6, on left, shows two cells that are dividing by fission and Fig. 7, on right, shows at least three asci with ascospores.

Although many species in the order Saccharomycetales may be unicellular, some have short, septate, hyphal growth. Extensive mycelial growth does not occur. In these species, asci and ascospores are still borne naked and are not produced in an ascocarp. An example of a species with short hyphal growth is Dipodascopsis uninucleatus.
