EREMASCACEAE IMPERFECTAE 265 



or central papilla. Growth stationary after fifth day. On neutral red agar, 

 colonies are tinted rose, agar yellowing. On potato, there is a white, dry 

 growth with elevations like the contours of a map, also erratic round colonies 

 of pinhead size. On carrot, growth is a white folded membrane with festooned 

 edge. Water of condensation is milky. On beet, growth is white with a rosy 

 tint, bristling with little papillae, border festooned and projecting. On arti- 

 choke, colonies are verrucose, cafe-au-lait in color on ageing. Substrate turns 

 green on sixth day, black on the eighteenth day. On gelatin, surface growth 

 is slow and in the form of little white nodules. In the depths, growth appears 

 arborescent. On gelatin with glycerol, glucose and liver infusion growth is 

 meager. On coagulated serum, colonies punctiform. In hay infusion, a slight 

 pellicle forms Avith whitish flakes settling out and leaving the medium clear. 

 In broth, there is a white deposit at the bottom of the tube with slight tem- 

 porary cloudiness. In bichromate broth, as above, with cloudiness persistent. 

 Acid formation and fermentation with glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, 

 sucrose ; slightly acid with mannite and dextrin. Litmus milk turns slightly 

 alkaline at first, then is decolorized below. No coagulation. No liquefaction 

 or discoloration of coagulated serum. No liquefaction of gelatin. 



PARASACCHAROIVIYOES 



Parasaccharomyces Beurmann & Gougerot, Tribune Med. 42: 502, 1909. 



The type species is Parasaccharomyces Samlergeri Beurmann & Gougerot 

 based upon Pseudosaccharomyces Busse Samberger. 



Colony creamy, hyphae straight, long; yeast cells ellipsoid, thick-walled; 

 ascospores not seen. No pellicle produced on liquid media, sometimes a ring 

 with aerial hyphae ; gelatin liquefied, sugars fermented. 



This genus, originally described from ulcers, has since been reported from 

 onychomycosis and from the respiratory and alimentary tracts.
