354 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



On Sabouraud agar, colonies cream white, viscous, moist, furrowed in 

 drying- (37° C.)- At 27° C, colonies pink, finally salmon or coral red, much 

 wrinkled, almost cerebriform. On malt agar at 15° C, colonies deep red to 

 slightly orange, shining, wrinkled, margin sinuous, pellucid. On malt gelatin 

 at 15° C, colonies smooth, moist, slightly elevated in the center, margin 

 smooth, dirty yellow. On Eaulin solution, slight cloudiness and rose-colored 

 pellicle at 27° C. On malt extract at 25° C, ring and sediment. Glucose and 

 maltose fermented (denied by Lodder), no action on lactose, fructose, ga- 

 lactose, and inulin. Lodder claims that fructose is assimilated, both Ciferri 

 and Lodder that galactose is slightly assimilated. Milk coagulated on third 

 to fourth day, pellicle rose color, not digested. Egg albumen not liquefied, 

 serum not coagulated, gelatin liquefied.

Probably first isolated as a contaminant, reported by Ashford & Ciferri 

 from human feces and by A. Sartory, R. Sartory & J. Meyer as a saprophyte 

 isolated during the study of an epidemic in which the disease was character- 

 ized by falling hair. 



Cells spherical to short ovoid, 3.5-4.5 x 3.5-6/a, single or in pairs, slightly 

 narrower on malt agar. On must gelatin, giant cells 6-10/4 in diameter, cells 

 aggregated in mucilaginous masses. 



Colonies shining, bright salmon color, not folded. On Sabouraud agar, 

 colonies English red, confluent, margin scalloped, with projections suggesting 

 the pseudopodia of Radiolaria. On malt agar, colonies flame scarlet to orange 

 chrome, moist, slimy, smooth, margin smooth. On malt gelatin, pale red,' 

 humid, flat, punctate, margin sinuous. On malt extract, a thin ring and a 

 thick, slimy light salmon orange, sediment. No fermentation ; no liquefaction 

 of gelatin. Growth extremely good in neutral Raulin's solution with potas- 

 sium nitrite (whence the name of Ashford & Ciferri 's strain from human feces).

Eiitorulopsis Ciferri, Atti 1st. Bot. R. Univ. Pavia II, 2: 141-143, 1925. 



The type species is Eutorula vulgaris Will. 



This renaming by Ciferri was unnecessary. He defines the genus as fol- 

 lows : Cells ellipsoid, spherical, or irregular, not apiculate nor catenulate,
