Tortdopsis degenerans Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med. Sao Paulo 9: 10, 1933. 



Pathogenic to guinea pig. 



Cells spherical, isolated or united in groups in the tissue, thick-walled. 



On potato, colonies are small, dry, elevated, grayish white, margins in- 

 dented and wavy, cells double the size of those on other media. On gelatin, 

 superficial colonies are yellowish gray and granular; those deeper are small, 

 rounded, brownish. In glycerol or glucose broth, a powdery deposit appears. 

 No fermentation of sucrose. Gelatin not liquefied.

On dextrose and on McConkey lactose agar, colonies small and similar 

 to those of Streptococcus. Very scanty growth and no liquefaction of serum 

 or gelatin. No fermentation. Darkening of lead agar.

 spores observed. 



Colonies on maltose agar whitish, shining, smooth or mammillate at the 

 center.
