260 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Four numbered strains producing bronchomycosis were described by 

 Castellani, Practitioner 124: 69, 1930. 



Acid formation and fermentation of glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose ; 

 slight acid formation and fermentation with galactose. Milk coagulated. 

 Gelatin not liquefied. 



Castellania Kartulisi (Castellani) Dodge, n. comb. 



" Saccharomyzetaceen" Kartulis, Zeitschr. Hyg. 64: 285-304, 1909. 



Levure de Kartulis Sasakawa, Centralbl. Bakt. I, 88: 272, 1922; Ota, Ann. 

 Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 2: 55-57, Fig. 11, 1924. 



Cryptococcus Kartulisi Castellani, Am. Jour. Trop. Med. 8: 413, 1928. 



MyceloMastanon Kartulis Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: [4], 1928. 



Isolated from chronic fistulas of gluteal region in one hundred cases, all 

 men, mostly Egyptians between forty and sixty, in Alexandria. Three stages 

 of growth observed; knot formation, softening of knots, fistula formation. 

 Pathogenicity to gray mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs unproved. 



Cells ovoid and allantoid or longer, up to 18;u. in diameter, in chains. 

 Spores (?) 3-4 per ascus, lO/x in diameter. Allantoid cells have enlarged ends 

 (with 12 spores?). Chlamydospores in old cultures. Figures of spores not 

 convincing, although author asserts that they differ from oil droplets. 



Growth good on sugar agar and potato, not so good on glycerol and 

 peptone agar. Colonies on potato, white to ash-gray, shining. In beef broth 

 there appears a slimy sediment, but no surface growth. Glucose and lactose 

 slowly fermented, sucrose rapidly, with the formation of large bubbles of gas. 



Castellania Hashimotoi, Dodge, n. sp. 



Hefe Hashimoto, Jap. Zeitschr. Derm. Urol. 22: 1-34, PI. 1 [1-2], 1922. 



Lesions on the face in front of the ear (2 cases). Pathogenic for mice 

 and guinea pigs. 



Yeast cells spherical or ovoid on solid media, more elongate in the pellicle 

 of malt extract. Endospores appear in 20 hours on gypsum block at 22° C 

 Optimum 23°-25° C. 



Colonies gray white at first, becoming grayish yellow or brownish with 

 shining surface and elevated border, with radiating margins. Fermentation 

 of lactose, maltose, glucose, not sucrose and galactose. 



The figures are so poorly reproduced that they give little information, but 

 one is inclined to doubt the presence of true ascospores. 



Castellania linguae-pilosae (Lucet) Dodge, n. comb. 



Saccharomyces linguae-pilosae Lucet, Arch, de Parasitol. 4: 262-287, 1901.

MyceloMastanon linguae-pilosae Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: [4], 1928. 



Torulopsis linguae-pilosae Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med Sao Paulo 9 : 10, 1933. 



Isolated from black pilose tongue with hypertrophy of papillae and dark 

 discoloration.
