Conjugation was observed in mix-mated pairs of 16 Sporobolomyces odorus isolates. The mating tests suggest a simple bipolar mating system. Conjugation resulted in the development of dikaryotic hyphae with clamp connections, and in chlamydospore formation. This dikaryotic phase closely resembled that of Sporidiobolus johnsonii. The chlamydospores germinated by the production of promycelium-like structures or of dikaryotic hyphae.
