Castellania Nogami Dodge, n. sp. 



Crijptococcus sp. Oclii, Klin. Montatsbl. Augenlieilk. 86: 309-313, 1931; 

 Nogami, Ihkl. 86: 313-316, 1931. 



Isolated from trachomatous tissue in 19 out of 32 cases. Optimum tem- 

 perature 22°-25° C. Grown on kojisenim agar. [This is made up of 3 parts 

 "kojiwasser" and 1 part human serum with 3% agar. Kojiwasser is rice 

 fermented by Aspergillus oryzae.] The organism may also be grown on a 

 modified Loeffler medium. [This is made as follows: to horse meat broth con- 

 taining 2% glucose or maltose and 1% glycerol, add horse or human serum, 

 1 part to 3 of the broth. Sterilize at 65° C. for 2 hours on each of 4 successive 

 days, raising temperature on last day to 90° C. to produce semicoagulation.] 



Colonies at first colorless, then white, yellowish, browiiish to reddish, and, 

 finally, dark brown. Colonies hard, deep hyphae thicker in Loeffler than in 

 koji medium. On koji serum agar, colonies more superficial, mycelium less 

 abundant, spores slightly smaller. Growth either aerobic or anaerobic. Glu- 

 cose fermented. Gelatin not liquefied.

Saccharomyces unguium Bourgeois, Derm. Zeitschr. 22: 411-420, 1915. 



Found in cases of onychomycosis of the hands with nails yellowing and 

 breaking, causing some pain. It is not virulent for animals. Intraperitoneal 

 injection results in the formation of grayish white nodules in the liver from 

 which the organism may easily be recovered. 



Cells 2-5 X l-3yu,, solitary or in chains of 3-4 cells. Branched hyphae appear 

 in old liquid cultures.
