344 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



peptone solution, no pellicle or ring, sediment light. Glucose and fructose 

 fermented with acid production, no action on other sugars. No action on milk, 

 serum, or gelatin. 



Atelosaccharomyces Conori Dodge, n. sp. 



Cryptococcus sp. Conor, Arch. Inst. Pasteur Tunis 1912: 215-218, 1912. 

 (Case history of Conor & Bruch, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 4: 360-368, 1911.) 



Isolated from ulcer with small nodules, giving a cheesy matter, at base 

 of skull and neck. Ulcer failed to respond to treatment and infant died in 

 about 6 months from onset. Organism produced lesions on liver, spleen, and 

 lungs of experimental animals. 



Cells spherical or ovoid, 4-10/x in diameter, no trace of hyphae, cells oc- 

 curring singly or in pairs, very rarely in three's. No change of morphology 

 on desiccation or aging of culture (up to one year). No ascospores found. 

 Growth very slow at 15° -18°, optimum at 37° C. 



Colonies on Sabouraud agar, yellowish white, creamy, slightly elevated, 

 and regularly rounded. On Sabouraud with tartaric acid, 1 :1,000, growth 

 much more rapid with same appearance as the preceding. On potato, growth 

 thick, whitish, mammillate, becoming pebbled on drying. On glycerol potato, 

 growth moist, shining, with sediment on bottom of tube, brownish in age. On 

 carrot, growth quite scanty, whitish. Peptone broth clear with slight sediment. 

 In acid glucose broth, growth more rapid with floccose sediment. Glucose and 

 fructose fermented. No action on maltose, lactose, or mannite. 



Atelosaccharomyces membranogenes (Steinhaus) Dodge, n. comb. 



Saccharomyces membranogenes Steinhaus, Centralbl. Bakt. I, 43: 49-69, 

 1907. 



Cryptococcus membranogenes Vuillemin, Champ. Parasit. Homme Anim. 

 94, 1931. 



Pound in diphtheric false membranes. Pathogenic for rabbit, guinea pig, 

 and mouse, producing an acute inflammation with hemorrhagic exudate. Per- 

 haps Strain II of Gentzsch (1908), isolated from diabetic urine drawn from 

 the bladder under sterile conditions, should be referred here. 



Cells spherical, the size of a red blood cell, multiplying by sprouting from 

 any portion of the cell, no capsule in cultures. 



On 3% malt agar, colonies circular, moist, white, soon confluent, finally 

 becoming brownish. On potato, growth dry, gray Avhite, circular, confluent. 

 On Loeffler's blood serum, colony mcist, circular, light yellow. On gelatin, 

 colonies white, shining, granular, at times surface suggests fat. Only glucose 

 fermented. 



Atelosaccharomyces larjmgitidis (Sartory, Petges & Claque) Dodge, n. 

 comb. 



Cryptococcus laryngitidis Sartory, Petges & Claque, C. R. Soc. Biol. 84: 

 179, 180, 1923. 



Monilia laryngitidis Vuillemin, Champ. Parasit. Homme Anim. 84, 1931. 



Torulopsis laryngitidis Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med. Sao Paulo 9: 10, 1933.
