630 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



surface growth in 24 hours. Then yellow, wrinkled, feltlike, darker with 

 conidiophores beginning. Growth more rapid at 37° C. Growth on potato 

 rapid and abundant. On gelatin stab, there is no deep growth. After a 

 while, cerebriform whitish masses appear just below surface growth. In 

 peptone water, growth is mainly surface with some "puffy balls." Glu- 

 cose peptone water is acidified but not fermented. Litmus milk turns acid 

 and clots. Surface growth is yellowish. Coagulated blood serum shows a 

 very slow white growth with rare conidiophores. It is eventually liquefied. 

 Gelatin is not liquefied. 



Aspergfillus Menderi Sartory & Flamant Apud Sartory, Champ. Paras. 

 Homme Anim. 578, 1922. 



Aspergillus sp. Sartory & Flamant, C. R. Soe. Biol. 93: 1114, 1115, 1920. 



Isolated from sputum of one suspected of having tuberculosis. Found 

 three times. Not pathogenic to laboratory animals. 



Mycelium branched. Conidiophores erect, 220-740/x high, 14-16/* in di- 

 ameter. Vesicle 30-50/a in diameter, green at first, becoming brown. Phialides 

 on upper half of head only, irregular but usually twice as long as wide. 

 Conidia irregular, 9-12/t in diameter. Disjunctors present. Perithecia canary 

 yelloAv on carrot or potato, 200-220/* in diameter, with a bright yellow mem- 

 brane. Asci spherical, 15-20/* in diameter, 8-spored. Spores lenticular with 

 groove and crest along greatest diameter, 10 x 4.7/t. 



Mycelium sprouts on carrot, potato, and licpiid media. Growth good on 

 the usual media. Glucose only fermented. No action on starch, cooked rice, 

 eg^ albumen, coagulated serum. Milk coagulated and curd dissolved. Gelatin 

 liquefied. 



Aspergillus Amstelodami (Mangin) Thom & Church, Aspergilli 113, 1926. 



Euroiium Amstelodami Mangin, Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. IX, 10: 360, 361, 1909. 



This species is a common saprophyte that from time to time has been re- 

 ported pathogenic. Weil, Gregoire, Chevallier & Flandrin (1928) claim to 

 have isolated this species from splenomegaly [probably as a contaminant]. 

 Duche describes a var. alophote similar to the species, but lacking the crest 

 on the ascospore. Fonseca (1930) reports this species from a case of mycetoma 

 of the foot with yellowish grains, his organism being determined by Mangin. 



Conidia green, spherical, finely echinulate, 2.8-4.7/* or somewhat ellipsoid 

 (Fig. 100, A), larger at lower temperatures (5.6 x 7.5/i at 10° C). Perithecia 

 numerous, yellow, deeply surrounded by floccose mycelium; ascospores with 

 furrow only, hyaline, smooth, 4.7 x 3.7/i (Fig. 100, B, C). 



Colony floccose, tardily green, glaucous or olive green.
