Hansenula
''Pichia'' (''Hansenula'' and ''Hyphopichia'' are obsolete synonyms) is a genus of yeasts in the family Pichiaceae The Pichiaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the family contains four genera, but GBIF lists 15 genera. The family was named by Zender in 1925. Genera As listed by GBIF; * '' ... with spherical, elliptical, or oblong acuminate cells. ''Pichia'' is a teleomorph, and forms hat-shaped, hemispherical, or round ascospores during sexual reproduction. The anamorphs of some ''Pichia'' species are ''Candida (genus), Candida'' species. The asexual reproduction is by multilateral budding. The genus name of ''Pichia'' is in honour of Pico Pichi (1862-1933), who was an Italian botanist and Professor of natural history and plant pathology at a viticulture school in the town of Conegliano in the Province of Treviso.

Hansenula Polymorpha
''Ogataea polymorpha'' is a methylotrophic yeast with unusual characteristics. It is used as a protein factory for pharmaceuticals. ''Ogataea polymorpha'' belongs to a limited number of methylotrophic yeast species – yeasts that can grow on methanol. The range of methylotrophic yeasts includes ''Candida boidinii'', ''Pichia methanolica'', ''Pichia pastoris'' and ''Ogataea polymorpha''. ''O. polymorpha'' is taxonomically a species of the family Saccharomycetaceae. Strains Three ''O. polymorpha'' strains, identified in the 1950s, are known. They have unclear relationships and are of independent origins. They are found in soil samples, the gut of insects or in spoiled concentrated orange juice. They exhibit different features and are used in basic research and to recombinant protein production: *strain CBS4732 (CCY38-22-2; ATCC34438, NRRL-Y-5445) *strain DL-1 (NRRL-Y-7560; ATCC26012) *strain NCYC495 (CBS1976; ATAA14754, NRLL-Y-1798) Strains CBS4732 and NCYY495 can be mated wher ...
