From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sporobolomyces salmonicolor is a yeast-like fungus in the Basidiomycota. It is generally considered a Biosafety Risk Group 1 fungus;[1] however isolates of S. salmonicolor have been recovered from cerebrospinal fluid, infected skin, a nasal polyp, lymphadenitis and a case of endophthalmitis.[2][3][4][5] It has also been reported in AIDS-related infections.[1] Sporobolomyces salmonicolor predominantly exists in the asexual state as a unicellular, haploid yeast, yet can sometimes produce a sexual state when conjugation of compatible yeast cells occurs. The asexual form of S. salmonicolor consists of a characteristic, pink, ballistosporic yeast.[6] Ballistoconidia are borne from slender extensions of the cell known as sterigma, and are forcibly ejected into the air upon maturity.[6] Levels of airborne yeast cells peak during the night and are abundant in areas of decaying leaves and grains.[2][3] Three varieties of Sporobolomyces salmonicolor have been coined; S. salmonicolor var. albus, S. salmonicolor var. fischerii, and S. salmonicolor var. salmoneus.[6]
