and levulose, none with lactose, mamiite and dulcite. Litmus milk acidified 

 and coagulated, then alkaline. Slight growth on coagulated serum. Gelatin 

 rapidly liquefied. 



Parasaccharomyces crateriformis Dodge, n. sp. 



Oidium sp. Spiethoff, Jahrb. Hamburg. Staatskrankenanst. 9: 167-208, 

 Ph. 14, 15, 1905. 



Isolated from lesions about the genitalia and adjacent thigh, also from 

 the urine of a diabetic woman. Pathogenic for laboratory animals. 



Cells spherical to ovoid with some filaments. 



Colonies on agar, glucose agar, malt agar, and blood agar, white, moist, 

 without aerial hyphae ; on blood serum, growth poorer ; on gelatin, colony 

 thick, white, crateriform, margin with short radial furrows. On potato, colony 

 at first white, moist, becoming dry and chalky. In liquid media, a ring but 

 no pellicle developed, with a fine flocculent sediment. Coagulation of milk 

 usually negative but observed after several days in a few tubes. Glucose, 

 sucrose, and maltose fermented. Gelatin liquefied. 



MONILIA 



Monilia Bonorden. Handb. AUg. Mykol. 76, 1851. 



Candida Langeron & Talice, Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 10: 54-56, 1932. 



The type species is Monilia Candida Bonorden {Monilia Bonordeni Vuil- 

 lemin) . 



Colonies creamy, thick, convex, beginning by bipolar sprouting of the 

 blastospore and followed by extensive branching, blastospores appearing late. 

 Blastospores ovoid, produced only terminally. Pseudomycelium of ellipsoid 

 cells, terminal cells prolonged into simple or compound chains, no verticils 

 (Fig. 49). Pellicle developing in liquid media, gelatin liquefied, sugars fer- 

 mented. 



This group is predominantly saprophytic. It is quite possible that Myco- 

 torida Will may belong here, but its morphology has been so poorly described 

 that one cannot be certain. The description of M. Bonordeni is included here 

 because pathogenic cultures have so often been incorrectly referred here. 

 M. Kochi, inadequately described, should be recognized by its red color,
