Saccharomycotina is a subphylum of the phylum Ascomycota (fungi which form their sexual spores in sac-like asci), and consists of yeasts - they form no ascocarps (fruiting bodies), their asci are naked, and they can reproduce asexually by budding. Saccharomycetes is a class in the kingdom of Fungi. It contains the order Saccharomycetales, the budding Yeasts Hemiascomycetes is a more Ascomycota is a Division / Phylum of Fungi, and subkingdom Dikarya, whose members are commonly known as the Sac Fungi. ascusgif|thumb|right|Ascus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing a tetrad of four spores]]An ascus (plural asci) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in Yeasts are a growth form of eukaryotic Microorganisms classified in the kingdom Fungi, with about 1500 Species currently described An ascocarp, or ascoma (plural ascomata) is the fruiting body ( Sporocarp) of an Ascomycete fungus [2]
The only class in this subphylum is Saccharomycetes. Saccharomycetes is a class in the kingdom of Fungi. It contains the order Saccharomycetales, the budding Yeasts Hemiascomycetes is a more [3]
It includes the well-known Baker's Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae[3] and the genus Candida which infects humans. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a Species of Budding Yeast. It is perhaps the most useful Yeast owing to its use since ancient times Candida is a Genus of Yeasts Many species of this genus are Endosymbionts
