804 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Mycelium 1.5-2;u in diameter, spores on a very short pedicel, often in groups 

 of 6-10, spores ovoid to pyriform, sometimes nearly spherical in old cultures. 

 Hypnospores formed in old cultures. 



On ordinary agar or glycerol agar, colonies star-shaped or irregularly 

 dentate, circular, slightly elevated, whitish, shining, very adherent, penetrat- 

 ing the medium 1-3 mm. On Sabouraud agar, colonies round, yellowish white, 

 elevated, adherent, surface folded. On potato, colonies granular, verrucose, 

 grayish white, dry, not abundant. With glycerol added, the growth is much 

 more luxuriant. On coagulated ox serum, development slow, colonies small 

 and with black points. In peptone meat broth or, better, in that to which 

 glucose or glycerol has been added, colonies white, fioccose, attached to sides 

 and bottom of the tube, liquid remaining clear even on shaking. In glucose or 

 glycerol broth also, floating colonies as small islands. Milk coagulated in 2 

 weeks. Gelatin liquefied slowly after several weeks. 



Sporotrichum Carougeaui Langeron apud Brumpt, Precis Parasitol. ed 2, 

 1913 (fide Langeron Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 15: 453-459, 1922, footnote) ; Fon- 

 toynont & Carougeau, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 15 : 444-453, 1922. 



Rhinocladium Carougeaui Neveu-Lemaire, Precis Parasitol. Hum. 85, 1921. 



Found in cutaneous ulcerous lesions in the hands of a six-year-old child, 

 also suffering from tuberculosis. Medication with KI helped, but did not cure 

 at once. Ten years later the child was well. Fontoynont & Carougeau give 

 ease history in detail. 



Mycelium septate, rampant, 2.5-5/j, in diameter (mean 3/i,), more volumi- 

 nous than in Rhinocladium. Cells 8-10/^ long; conidia ellipsoid, 2 x 4;u,, becom- 

 ing spherical, 4-4.5 and even 5/a in diameter when detached. Conidia attached 

 by definite sterigmata, arising variously all along the hyphae. Occasionally 

 yeast forms produced both in culture and in lesions. Best growth at 19°-22° C. 



Organism easily isolated on sugar media. On agar, colony creamy, white. 

 On glycerol agar or maltose or glucose agars, groAvth is equally favorable, 

 colony elevated, wrinkled, vermiculate, adherent, without the sharp peak in 

 center characteristic of S. Beurnianni. Folds vary from 0.5 to 4 mm. thick. 

 Color silvery white on glycerol or glucose agar, yellowish on maltose. On manioc 

 with glycerol, growth less abundant than on agar, forming a white, thin, farin- 

 aceous colonj^ without folds, becoming slightly tomentose in 2 weeks. On potato 

 glycerol, colony 1-2 mm. thick, white or slightly grayish, surface irregular 

 with coremia, and white flakes floating in the glj^cerol solution at the bottom 

 of the tube. On carrot glycerol or turnip glycerol, colony similar but more 

 humid, creamy, growth slow. On banana, colony folded, gray on reddish back- 

 ground, spreading very little, formed of small, rounded, confluent colonies, 

 slightly brown. On gelatin stab, surface colony folded, white, with inverted 

 pine tree below; liquefaction on tenth day. On green bamboo bark, growth 

 good, farinaceous, white. Liquid media (glycerol or sugars), show good growth 

 in flakes, which settle to bottom but are easily suspended on shaking. Little or 

 no development in broth.
