272 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Monilia Kochii (Wettstein) Saccardo, Syll. Fung. 10: 518, 1892. 



Rhodomyces Kochii Wettstein, Sitzungsber. K. Akad. Wiss. Wien, 91 : 33- 

 58, 1885. 



Rhodomyces eruhescens Apel apud Ascher, Zeitsclir. Hyg. Infektions- 

 krankh. 34: 475-481, PI. 5, 1900. 



Candida Kochii Basgal, Contr. Estudo Blastomycoses Pulmonares, 49, 1931. 



Isolated from human sputum repeatedly over a period of 2 years. In the 

 stomach of a cat fed with milk, it sprouted and formed conidia. Seems to be 

 connected with pyrosis. R. ruhescens was isolated from the placenta and fetal 

 skin of a guinea pig, but is not pathogenic for experimental animals. 



Mycelium in substrate colorless, thin, one- to several-celled. Hyphal cells 

 20-60 X 6-16/t with thin membrane. Conidiophores rise above substrate, rose 

 red to yellowish red, formed of spherical or short cylindric cells, much branched. 

 Conidia in chains which finally dissociate, ovoid to polj^hedral, 5-16ytt in di- 

 ameter or 15-20 X 6-15/i, with relatively thin wall and hyaline content, finallj^ 

 breaking up into a powdery mass. Intercalary chlamydospores also present. 

 Hyphal anastomoses observed. 



Colonies rounded, rose-red or red-yellow, covered by a pulverulent conidial 

 layer 1-2 mm. thick, aerobic. Sugars not fermented. Milk slowly coagulated 

 and digested. No ring or pellicle on liquid media. 



The species of Oidium referred to as Oidium rose by Sartory & Orticoni, 

 Rev. Path, Comp. 14: 176, 1914, but not fully described, perhaps belongs here. 

 Hyphae repent, 3-4/a in diameter, rose color. Fertile hyphae terminated by 

 a chain of ovoid, pale rose spores, 2.5-3 x 2fi. Not pathogenic but found along 

 with pathogenic Cryptococcus sp. described in same paper. 



SYRINGOSPORA 



Syringospora Quinquaud, Arch. Physiol. Norm. Path. 1: 290-305, PI. 8, 

 1868. 



Wnantiothamnus Pinoy apud Brault & Masselot, Ann. Derm. Syphiligr. 

 V, 2: 602, 1911. 



Mycotorula Langeron & Talice, Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 10: 43-48, 

 1932. 



The type species is Syringospora Robini Quinquaud (Oidium albicans 

 Robin). 



Colonies creamy, thick and convex, beginning by polar sprouting of a 

 blastospore, followed by the progressive branching of the pseudomycelium ; 

 blastospores spherical or ovoid, rarely elongate, arranged in simple verticils 

 at the septa along a hypha; pseudomycelium formed of short cells, each 

 typically terminated by a verticil of blastospores; terminal cell similar, very 

 rarely terminated by a short chain ; verticils simple, regularly spaced, some- 

 times limited to 4 or 6, sometimes in dense clusters (Fig. 50). Gelatin lique- 

 fied, sugars fermented.
