The genus has two describes species, which were formerly classified in the genus Saccharomyces. The species reproduce by multilateral budding but do not form hyphae or pseudohyphae. Asci typically form 1-2 ascospores. The species ferment the sugars glucose and galactose. Isolates of the two species are found on a wide variety of agricultural products.
