Ena7itiothamnus Braulti Pinoy in litt, apucl Brault & Masselot, Ann. Derm. 

 Syphiligr. V, 2: 592-602, 7 figs., 1911; Brault, Bull. Soe. Path. Exot. 7: 90-91, 

 1914; Bull. Mem. Soc. Chirurg. Paris 37: 405-407, 1911 [original case history

 10:62,1932. 



Isolated from slight crateriform tumors on buttock of an Arab in Algeria. 

 Craters opened in a few days, exuding pus, then healed(?). Epidermis not 

 altered. Tissues infiltrated. Subcutaneous injection gave slight lesion in 

 rat, doubtful in guinea pig ; nonpathogenic to rabbit and hen. 



On carrot broth^ hyphae 2.1yu, in diameter, cells 6.5-10/a long, end cells 

 swollen to 2.8 x 3-7ja. A few branches several cells long. Spores verticillate 



Fig. 51. — Syringospora chlamydospores. (After Langeron & Talice 1932.) 



at septum, 2-2.5 x 1-1.5/a. Thallus easily dissociating. Stained by crystal 

 violet, gentian violet, Ziehl, Giemsa, less by thionin, Borrel blue. Loeffler blue, 

 and Unna blue. 



Cultures groAv at room temperature and 37° C. Colony on Sabouraud 

 agar, colony dull white slightly yellowing, with slight depressions. Margin 

 thicker, finely folded, more brilliant. On glucose agar, after 48 hours, colony 

 thick, center dense, becoming yellowish, margin thinner. Glycerol-glucose agar 

 seems more favorable, center yellow, granular to mammillate, very thick, margin 

 thin, grayish, folded. On potato, colony small, meager. Neither carrot, carrot- 

 glycerol, nor carrot broth very favorable. On ordinary agar, whitish, thick 

 velvet. Velvet on stab at surface with grayish streak in deeper layers. On 

 broth, pellicle forms and medium becomes cloudy.
