===Teleomorphs and Anamorphs===
Some yeasts have sexual and asexual forms, which are morphologically and metabolically different but genetically the same. Each form has a different name. Often the genus name changes and the specific epithet does not (e.g. ''Brettanomyces bruxellensis'' and ''Dekkera bruxellensis''). '''Anamorphs''' are the asexual form, which reproduce clonally. '''Teleomorphs''' are the sexual form. ''Saccharomyces'' yeasts have no Teleomorphic genus, although they do sporulate to reproduce sexually. ''Brettanomyces'' yeasts are always belong to the genus ''Dekkera'' in the Teleomorphic form, while ''Candida'' teleomorphs belong to many different genera.
