Mating is observed in Bullera alba and B. variabilis, resulting in the formation of dikaryotic mycelium with clamps, haustorial branches, and lateral and terminal dikaryotic, clavate, lageniform or subglobose cells. These cells develop in B. alba into tremellaceous phragmobasidia. Karyogamy has been observed in young non-divided basidia. Germination of the phragmobasidia occurred by acropetal chains of yeast cells, ballistospores or hyphae. Septal pores are dolipores with parenthesomes made up of U-shaped vesicles (Tremellales type). For the teleomorph of B. alba a new genus, Bulleromyces, is proposed, with only one species, viz. Bulleromyces albus.

Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a prevalent postharvest disease of apple that limits their shelf life, resulting in significant economic losses. The use of antagonistic microorganisms has been shown to be an effective approach for managing postharvest diseases of fruit. In the present study, an endophytic yeast strain PGY-2 was isolated from apples and evaluated for its biocontrol efficacy against gray mold and its mechanisms of action.

Bullera species in the Trichosporonales (Tremellomycetes, Agaricomycotina) are phylogenetically distinct from Bullera alba (teleomorph: Bulleromyces albus), the type species of Bullera that belongs to Tremellales. In the present study, the three Bullera species, namely Bullera formosensis, Bullera koratensis and Bullera lagerstroemiae, and Cryptococcus tepidarius belonging to the Trichosporonales are transferred into a new genus Takashimella gen. nov.

Seven phylloplane yeast strains that were collected in the Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal, and identified preliminarily as Bullera alba, the anamorphic stage of Bulleromyces albus, were investigated. In contrast to Bulleromyces albus, these isolates produced a brownish pigment when grown on potato dextrose agar. The pigment caused darkening of the cultures and diffused into the culture medium.

A ballistoconidium-forming yeast strain, CH 2.506, isolated from a semi-dried leaf of Parthenocissus sp. collected near Kunming City in Yunnan, China, was shown to be closely related to the non-ballistoconidium-forming species Cryptococcus luteolus (Saito) C.

During phylogenetic analyses of hymenomycetous yeasts based on 18S rDNA sequences, we found that Bullera armeniaca showed an extremely close phylogenetic relationship to Cryptococcus hungaricus. The analyses of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the two yeasts and the phylogenetically related species, Bullera aurantiaca and Bullera crocea, showed that B. armeniaca and C.
