When plated on agar it produces smooth, butyrous colonies with a cream coloration. When grown in liquid media it takes approximately 76 hours to reach stationary phase and is very sensitive to decreases in pH. This species typically has an oval or cylindrical shape, but it can be dumb bell shaped at the microscopic level. C. aquaticus reproduces through bipolar mypodial budding. This species is somewhat unique in the Cryptococcus family in that it can weakly ferment D glucose, D galactose, maltose and melezitose. This species is DBB . C. aquaticus has been studied because of its ability to produce pecticase. It produces polycalacturonase, but not isoenzymes of polygalacturonase, and it has increased activity in the presence of glucose. ref Birgisson et al. 2003 Cold adapted yeasts as producers of cold active polygalacturonases.

Can. J. Microbiol. 46 7 27 ref It has a growth temperature range between 20 C and 35 C. This species secretes amylase at the end of its exponential phase, and it is believed to produce the most amylase at 30 C between pH 4.5 and pH 6. It is believed that the amylases that are produced by C. aerius are able to digest raw starch, and this ability to break down raw starch has been studied extensively, because the ability to find microorganisms that can break down raw starch has become increasingly important as the production of materials such as liquid fuel and chemicals using starch has become more prominent.

When grown on agar it typically produces cream colonies, however when grown on neopeptone agar slants, the colonies turn olive green after approximately four weeks. This species also turns nearly black when grown on Diamalt agar slants and on Gorodkova agar after approximately three months. When grown in liquid media it develops sediment and a weak ring. On the microscopic level the cells appear globose to ovate and are capsulated. Occasionally the cells have been seen to create chains of four to five cells. When grown, it does not require vitamins, but its growth is weakened by the presence of ammonium sulfate. It is able to assimilate alpha methyl D glucoside, Ca 2 keto gluconate, cellobiose, D arabinose, D mannitol, D sorbitol, D xylose, galactose, glucose, K 5 keto gluconate K gluconate, lactose, L arabinose, L rhamnose, maltose, melezitose, i inositol, raffinose, salicin and trehalose.

This species grows best between 4 C and 20 C, but some strains of C. antarcticus have been observed to grow upwards of 25 C. This temperature range is one of the only things that can distinguish it from C. albidus var. albidus on the DNA level, however, it can be phenotypically differentiated through its ability to utilize different minerals and its overall appearance. When plated the colonies have a slightly mucosoid appearance, with a white to cream coloration. C. antarcticus is able to assimilate nitrogen and glucoronate, and some strains can turn a dirty yellow when assimilating the previously mentioned compounds. When being cultured in liquid media, constant agitation is required. On a microscopic level this yeast is ovoid in shape. C. antarcticus has not been seen to sexually reproduce, but when they do reproduce asexually they do so through budding. Mature cells that have not recently budded typically are 4.0 m by 7.5 m, and they do not appear to produce pseudomycelium. C. antarcticus is not able to ferment, but all of its strains use cellobiose, 2 ketogluconate in hemicalcium salt, gluconate at pH 5.8, glucuronate at pH 5.5, maltose, mannitol, melezitose, soluble starch and succinate at pH 5.5 as sole carbon sources.

The cell is encapsulated with an extended ovoid shape. when the cell buds, it creates birth scars, and the neck of the new yeast fits inside of the bud scar neck. The new cell typically only buds from the birth scar present from where it budded off the parent cell. Over half of the dividing cells in C. bhutanensis cultures the cell walls were holoblastic, meaning that the new cell wall was continous with the old cell wall on the parent cell the other portion of dividing cells in C. bhutanensis cultures divide enteroblastically, meaning that only the innter layer of the new cell wall is continuous with the inner layer of the parental cell wall. After the cells bud off they produce a collar on the parent cell. One interesting thing of note with C. bhutanensis is that mitosis is not intranuclear.
