conidiopliores erect, simple or double, forming chains of cylindric spores 4 x 

 8/1.. Chlamydospores terminal, 15-18/a. Colonies light yellow, reticulate, 

 crumpled with aureole. 



No trace of ascospores, even in old cultures. 



Colonies on agar or potato light yellow, crumpled, mammillate, aureoled, 

 powdery, and whitening in age. Yeast stage ferments glucose, filamentous 

 stage does not. 



In animal (pus, etc.), yeast form only appears. Repeated subcultures lose 

 virulence.
