Acidification and fermentation with glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, 

 lactose, and dextrin; none with sucrose, starch, inulin, glycerol or mannite. 

 Coagulated serum and gelatin not liquefied.

Candida acraensis Basgal. Contr. Estudo Blastomycoses Pulmonares 49, 

 1931. 



A complicating organism in fatal cases of tuberculosis of the lungs. 



Colonies diffuse and creamy white on most media. Thick white colony 

 on potato. White deposit in broth and peptone water, slight pellicle on pep- 

 tone water. Hyphae only on liquid media. Acid formation and fermentation 

 with glucose, galactose, and sucrose, slight also with maltose, none with other 

 sugars. Coagulated serum and gelatin not liquefied. 



Differs from Castellania nivea by not fermenting raffinose.

Isolated from case of bronchomycosis, also from tAvo cases of blastomycetic 

 dermatitis in Ceylon. 



Thin pellicle formed on broth. Acid formation and fermentation with 

 glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, and maltose. Very slight acid with

Candida enterica Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med. Sao Paulo 9: 11, 1933. 



Isolated by Delamare from the stools of a patient with chronic diarrhea 

 in Senegal. Produced lesions in rabbit ear, slight symptoms in guinea pig 

 and, administered per os, produced typical diarrhea in cat. 



On glucose and lactose agars, growth is rapid, and white granular colony 

 forms. On maltose, mannite, and sucrose agars, growth is in projecting 

 tufts, umbilicate, surrounded by a striate zone and by an almost transparent 

 aureole. Ivory tint on ageing. On fructose agar, meager growth. On stab 

 in ordinary agar, colonies are bright, white, rounded, elevated with umbilicus
