EREMASCACEAB IMPERFECTAE 241 



two to three times the size of ordinary cells, thick-walled and not staining 

 well. These are abundant in Naegeli liquid to which 2% sucrose has been 

 added and are 12-15/x, in diameter. Ascospores not seen. 



On ordinary agar, and sugar agars colony is yellowish white, thick, glisten- 

 ing, creamy. Growth on potato plug slow, potato becomes brown, colonies 

 somewhat dry and in rounded groups, not bands. Best growth on carrot plug 

 placed in glycerol-glucose solution (100 c.c. water, 10 e.c. glycerol, 5 gm. 

 glucose). After 12 hours at 38° C, the white colonies are thick at the center, 

 confluent. Liquid cloudy at first, then clear with whitish deposit. Pellicle 

 forms between carrot and glass. Growth stops in 3 days. At lower tempera- 

 tures, growth slower. Color of carrot not modified, as the growth is strictly 

 aerobic. On potato, in glycerol-glucose solution, growth is similar to that on 

 carrot, but more rapid. On gelatin stab, abundant growth appears at stab on 

 surface, then scattered colonies but no growth below. On gelatin streak, mar- 

 gin finely toothed, thicker in lower part. No mycelial forms on gelatin. On 

 coagulated serum, growth is good, colonies chalky white. In broth, ordinary 

 or slightly acid, growth shows as cloudiness with abundant yellowish white 

 sediment, sometimes a slight ring but no pellicle. In glycerol broth, growth 

 is rapid with yeast cells only. In alkaline broth, much less abundant. In 

 broth and alcohol (6 drops of alcohol to 6 c.c. broth), growth is poor at first, 

 then good with occasional filaments of 3-4 cells appearing. In malt extract, 

 growth rapid and abundant, white, \8yringospora albicans grows very poorly 

 in this.] In red wine, growth is poor, yeast cells only. On media, colored with 

 methylene blue or sky blue, organism grows well and assumes a greenish blue 

 hue. Milk coagulated in 3-7 days. Gelatin not liquefied.

Castellani isolated this organism from sputum. Froilano de Mello & 

 Gonzaga Fernandes found it as a laboratoiy contaminant. 



Colony yellowish, acid with glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, sucrose, 

 dextrin; slight acid with lactose; very slight acid with inulin and raffinose. 

 Litmus milk acid with slight coagulation. Gelatin and serum not liquefied.
