Asexual reproduction, sometimes erroneously termed vegetative reproduction, occurs in yeasts by budding, by fission, and by the production of forcefully ejected ballistoconidia on stalks termed sterigmata. Observing how the ballisto- and blastoconidia are formed (conidiogenesis) can provide information that aids the identification of a strain. Formation of pseudohyphae and septate (true) hyphae are other forms of asexual reproduction (Kurtzman et al., 2011).
