124 ACTINOMYCETES 



rence of septa and occasional intercalary chlamydospores is reported by 

 Brumpt (Arch. Parasitol., 10, 1905, 562), but has not been confirmed by 

 Erikson (loc. cit.). Chalmers and Christopherson (Ann. Trop. Med. Parasi- 

 tol., 10, 1916, 223) merely mentioned the growth on potato as yellowish 

 white and lichnoid without describing any aerial mycelium. Balfour in 

 1911 reported a case but gave no data, and Fulleborn limited his description 

 to the grain (Arch. Schiffs, Trop. Hyg., 15, 1911, 131). This species was 

 first placed in Indiella, a genus of fungi, by Brumpt (1906, loc. cit.). Later 

 Brumpt (1913, loc. cit.) proposed a new genus or subgenus, Indiellopsis, 

 containing the single species Indiellopsis somaliensis. 



145. Streptomyces panjae (Erikson) Waksman and Henrici. (Erik- 

 son, D., Med. Research Council Spec. Rept. Ser. 203, 1935, 36.) 



Vegetative growth: Unicellular mycelium with slender, branching fila- 

 ments; very small, round colonies. 



Aerial mycelium: No aerial mycelium visible on any medium, but oc- 

 casional isolated aerial branches. 



Nutrient agar: Growth irregularly piled up, convoluted, colorless; after 

 1 month, easily detachable, brownish. 



Glucose agar: Small colorless coiled mass in 1 week; heaped up green 

 growth in 2 weeks. 



Gelatin: Liquefaction complete in 4 days. 



Milk: Coagulation; pale green surface growth ; mostly digested in 2 weeks. 



Glucose broth: Growth poor, flakes, scant, pinkish. 



Nutrient broth: Flakes and minute colorless colonies. 



Glycerol agar: Poor growth, scant colorless patch. 



Calcium agar: Colorless to pink spreading growth with minute, discrete 

 colonies at margin; after 2 weeks, bright red mass, buckled and shining, 

 colorless submerged margin. 



Potato agar: Small, elevated, convoluted, colorless masses with purple 

 tinge in center. 



Dorset's egg medium: Small, round, tough, colorless colonies, margin 

 well embedded; after 3 weeks, colonies elevated, warted, darkened, medium 

 discolored and broken; slight degree of liquefaction, medium dark brown. 



Source: An ulcer of the abdominal wall, Calcutta. 



146. Streptomyces willmorei (Erikson) Waksman and Henrici. (Erik- 

 son, D., Med. Research Council Spec. Rept. Ser. 203, 1935, 36.) 



Vegetative growth: Unicellular mycelium frequently branches at short 

 intervals, presenting peculiar clubbed and budding forms with occasional 

 separate, round, swollen cells. The filaments are characteristically long, 

 homogeneous, and much-interwoven.
