490 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Endodermophyton africanum, Dodge, n. sp. 



Endodermophyton sp. Pijper. Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 21: 45-47, 1918. 



Greater portion of body, except face and scalp, covered with scales over- 

 lapping like tiles of a house, accompanied by pruritus. 



Only mycelium produced on ordinary agar. 



Difficult to free from bacteria. Pijper grew the contaminating bacteria 

 on media in incubator for twelve hours, then sterilized it, and added glucose 

 and calcium carbonate. The contaminating bacteria then failed to grow and 

 the fungus developed from scales. 



Colony circular, white in ten days, becoming gray crateriform, crater 

 wide, narrow flat margin, outside crater reddish. Reverse center green, mar- 

 gin reddish. On Sabouraud conservation agar, no growth. On maltose agar, 

 growth more rapid, color darker, nearly black in 41 days, with red margins, 

 radial furrows present. On glucose agar, growth slow, slightly gray zone 

 between white center and margin ; no crater. On mannite agar, as in maltose, 

 but darker, growth more luxuriant. On lactose agar, red center, gray margin 

 after 15 days. On glycerol agar, small, pure white, crateriform. On gelatin, 

 light gray, flat colony. No liquefaction.
