250 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Myceloblastanon parahalcanicum Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: [4], 1928. 



Glucose only fermented, with acid formation. Milk coagulated. 



Castellania Metchnikofla (Castellani) Dodge, n. comb. 



Monilia Metchnikoffi Castellani, Ann. Inst. Pasteur 30: 149-154, 1916. 



Isolated from a ease of thrush in London. 



Peptone broth remains clear. Acid formation and fermentation with 

 glucose, slight with fructose and maltose. Slight acid formation with galac- 

 tose. Neither coagulated serum nor gelatin liquefied. 



Castellania hominis (Castellani & Chalmers) Dodge, n. comb. 



SaccJiaromyces sp. Klein & Gordon, Centralbl. Bakt. I, 35: 138, 139, 1904. 



Saccharomyces hominis Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 2, 769, 

 1913. Not Busse, 1895. 



Isolated as a contamination during an epidemic of tonsillitis which re- 

 sembled diphtheria. Not pathogenic to rabbit and guinea pig. 



Yeast cells spherical or ovoid, 5-7 x 1-3/x, with pseudomycelium formed 

 only in media containing glucose. 



On sugar media, colonies red, round, margins pellucid. On sugar broth, 

 sediment but no ring or pellicle. On milk, red pellicle curd slowly digested. 

 Glucose not fermented. Gelatin slowly liquefied. 



Castellania Castellanii (Re) Dodge, n. comb. 



Cryptococcus sp. Castellani, Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 27: 326-328, 2 figs., 

 1924.

Monilia Castellanii Re. Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 28: 217-223, 1925. 



Cryptococcus Castellanii Castellani, Am. Jour. Trop. Med. 8: 390-392, 

 1929; Mallardo, Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 32: 145-147, 1929. 



Torulopsis Castellanii Castellani & Jacono, Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 36: 

 312-313, Figs. 38-39, 1933. 



Isolated from atypical cases of furunculosis not affected by staphylococcus 

 vaccine. 



Cells gram-positive, not acid-fast, spherical 3-4;u, in diameter, occasionally 

 a few hyphae on liquid media. No ascospores. 



Colony white then yellowish or brownish on glucose agar, similar with a 

 reddish or purplish tinge on potato. No fermentation when first isolated, but 

 after a few transplants ferments glucose and fructose ; also produces slight 

 acidity in galactose. Milk not affected. Gelatin and serum not liquefied. 



Castellania dissocians (Mattlet) Dodge, n. comb. 



Monilia dissocians Mattlet, Ann. Soc. Beige Med. Trop. 6: 24-25, 1926. 



Isolated from a grayish white coating of the base of the tongue in a native 

 of the Belgian Congo. In one ease the tonsils and pharynx were also involved. 

 Microscopic examination of scrapings showed filaments 1.5-2 x 6-8/a. Treat- 

 ment with KI.Io in glycerol cured the lesions slowly. 



After 3 days in potato water at 37° C. this shows a large variety of forms 

 between the spherical cell and the hyphal form. Long cells about 20 x 2/i,
