EREMASCACEAE IMPERFECTAE 259 



Mycelium 3-4/* in diameter, bearing 4 shorter cells at either end. Blasto- 

 spores ovoid or spherical 4-8/x in diameter. Gram-positive. 



Growth on agars abundant, thick, roundish, creamy, white. Acid forma- 

 tion and fermentation with glucose, fructose, maltose. In the cases derived 

 from tea dust, galactose and sucrose also fermented. No action on milk. 



Colonies large, elevated, round, creamy, Avhite, cells spherical, Gram-posi- 

 tive, not acid-fast. Mycelium formed in peptone water. Acid formation and 

 fermentation with glucose, maltose, and sucrose in 24 hours, with galactose 

 and fructose in 5-6 days — Reimann, 1931. 



Zepponi (1931) reports fermentation and acidification with xylose, slight 

 acidity with arabinose, no change in alcohols, polysaccharides or giucosides 

 of hydroaromatic compounds.

Found in sputum. 



Colony thick, creamy, whitish, cells ovoid to spherical, solitary or in 

 chains, 3-6)U. in diameter, gram-positive. Sediment produced in broth, no 

 turbidity. [Sanfilippo 1924.] 



Acid formation and fermentation of glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, 

 and inulin. Milk coagulated. Gelatin and serum not liquefied.

 1898. 



Isolated from stools of infant suffering from chronic gasteroenteritis. 

 Virulence slight for laboratory animals but is augmented when inoculated 

 along with Bacterium coli. 



Mycelium on ascitic gelatin with terminal chlamydospores after one month. 



On agar, colonies white, shining, pinhead size. On maltose, growth yel- 

 lowish white and of a yeasty odor. On gelatin, small, subspheric, white colo- 

 nies with small, granular colonies along stab. Glucose, maltose, and lactose 

 fermented. Milk coagulated in 5 days and coagulum digested in 3 months. 

 Gelatin not liquefied.
