yeast-form fungi

It's about the form--i.e., the morphology--of the organism, and to be precise one has to use 'form' in the translation.

Note the following reference to the two forms of unicellular fungi:

www.atsu.edu/faculty/chamberlain/Website/Lects/Fungi.htm - Dimorphism is the condition where by a fungus can exhibit either the yeast form or the hyphal form, depending on growth conditions. Very few fungi exhibit ...

I first ran into this expression when collaborating with Dr. Angela Restrepo. I co-authored an article with her on a review of the literature on aspects of paracoccidioidomycosis. See a reference to her work below:

A ocorrência de casos esporádicos de mastite
causados por microrganismos de origem ambiental pode ser
considerada como emergente e as leveduras, os fungos
leveduriformes e os filamentosos são alguns dos principais
agentes envolvidos.
The veterinary literature registers sporadic cases
of infections caused by environmental microorganisms in which
the main agents involved are yeasts, yeasts-like and filamentous
fungi. In relation to dairy animals, the yeasts are more frequently incriminated as the aetiological agents of mycotic
mastitis.

Example sentence:

In vitro synergy and antagonism of antifungal agents against yeast-like fungi B. DUPONT M.D. E. DROUHET M.D. Institut Pasteur, Service de Mycologie, 75015, Paris

Yeast-like fungi may be basidiomycetes, such as Cryptococcus neoformans or ascomycetes such as Candida albicans.

agree David Hollywood : depends on how technical the translation has to be but "yeast-like" is certainly on the button :)

thanks Claudio but do you think it's "levEduriform" or "levAduriform"?

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : It's 'levaduriform'. Your answer captures the idea that it's about the form, but in English it's called 'yeast-form'.

thanks Muriel and "yeast-form" clears away any doubts :)
