ASPERGILLACEAE 



643 



This organism was isolated by Dorti from a small tumor along with Acre- 

 moniella Berti in Florence, and was also used by Campatelli to produce an ex- 

 perimental granuloma. 



Specialized (•onidio])horps scarcely found; penicilli consisting of single 

 phialides or small, short-stalked clusters or verticils of phialides, each with its 

 conidial chain, scattered along the separate hyphae or ropes of hyphae in large 

 numbers; phialides 10-12/i with long tubes set at angles to their axes and 

 divaricate Avhen in verticils ; conidia up to 6, 7 or even S/j. x 2.5-4/x, almost 

 hyaline (Thom). 



Colonies in Czapek's solution agar broadly spreading, forming a loose, 

 bristly network of hyphae, making a funiculose felt 200-400/* deep, white with 

 more or less yellow in areas, and with yellowish drops or their residue, reverse 

 in yellow orange shades.

 section of a trailing hypha bearing phialides and various grades of penicilliferous branchlets. 

 (After Thom 1910.) 



Colonies on glucose agar, white floccose, then grayish chestnut. Sterile 

 hyphae branched, hyaline, septate, creeping or ascending, 6-7/i in diameter. 

 Conidiophores erect, simple, septate, hyaline. 50-110/* long, sparsely branched 

 above, ending in chains of conidia. Conidia spherical, rarely ellipsoid, smooth, 

 pale, fuliginous, 4-5/* in diameter. On broth, colonies floating, similar to those 

 on agar,
