244 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Parendomyces Vanderburgii (Kohlbrugge) Dodge, n. comb. 



Oidiiim Vanderh^irgii Kohlbrugge, Arch. Schift's-Tropenhyg. 5: 394-397, 

 1901 [name and case history] ; Nederl. Tijdschr. Geneesk. 37: 2: 881-890, 1901 

 [description without name] . 



Isolated from a case of sprue in the Dutch East Indies. 



No discoloration of potato. No fermentation of sugars. Milk not coagu- 

 lated but growth good, colonies milky white, not slimy, easily emulsifiable in 

 water. Gelatin not liquefied. 



Parendomyces Krausi (Ota) Dodge, n. comb. 



Cryptococcus Krausi Ota, Derm. Woch. 78: 229, 1924. 



In 24 hours on malt agar, cells ellipsoid or ovoid, rarely spherical, aver- 

 age cells 6-7 X 10/A with several small oil drops, in branched chains which break 

 up into individual cells. In a month, the chains have all disappeared and the 

 oil drops are larger. No true mycelium formation. No fermentation. 



Parendomyces butantanensis (Gomes) Dodge, n. comb, 



Monilia butantanensis Gomes, Annaes Paulistas Med. Cirurg. 12 : 1924 ; 

 Mem. Inst. Butantan, 1924. 



Candida butantanensis Langeron & Talice, Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 10: 

 54, 1932. 



Isolated from sputum of a case clinically resembling tuberculosis. Patho- 

 genic for laboratory animals. 



Cells 4-6/A in diameter, in pairs or short chains of 3-4 cells, spherical or 

 ovoid, chains rather longer on carrot. No ascospores on Gorodkova agar. 



On Sabouraud maltose, potato or carrot, colonies Avhite, soft, and shining. 

 In glucose broth, pellicle and sediment developed. No fermentation of sugars, 

 acid with glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose and arabinose, very slight with 

 galactose and dextrin, no acid with inulin, mannite, and lactose. No action on 

 coagulated serum or gelatin. 



Parendomyces minor (Pollacci & Nannizzi) Dodge, n. comb. 



Cryptococcus minor Pollacci & Nannizzi, apud Nannizzi, Tratt. Micopat. 

 Umana [Pollacci] 4: 317, 1934. 



Torulopsis minor Lodder, Anaskosporogenen Hefen 1: 178-179, 1934. 



Cryptococcus dermatitidis Benedek in Lodder, Anaskosporogenen Hefen 1: 

 156-158, 1934 excl. all syn. 



Isolated from the scales of a case of psoriasis? [psionasi Lodder] by 

 Spicca & Tarentelli. Source of Benedek 's culture unknown, probably from 

 lesions clinically suggesting those of Atelosaccharomyces hominis or perhaps 

 even Zymonema dermatitidis, as Lodder has confused it with these organisms. 



Cells small, short ovoid, 2.5-4 x 3.5-5 (-6. 5)/a clinging together in short 

 chains of 4-6 cells. 



On malt agar, colony almost white, dull, center verrucose, margin almost 

 smooth. On malt gelatin, yellowish, dull, center slightly elevated and of deeper 

 color, margin slightly ragged. In malt extract ring white, well-developed sedi- 

 ment, and occasional floating islets. Good growth on alcohol; no fermenta- 

 tion, no liquefaction of gelatin.
