740 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Oospora Madurae Lehmann & Neumann, Atlas Grundriss Bakt. 2: 388, 389, 

 1896. 



Isolated from white grained Madura foot. Animal inoculations negative. 



Mycelium 1-1. 5/* in diameter. Arthrospores in the form of rods or spheres. 

 Organism is aero-anaerobe but grows best anaerobically. Gram-positive, not 

 acid-fast. 



On glycerol agar, colonies very adherent to the substrate, longitudinally 

 folded, discoid, crateriform, the periphery yellowish at first, later becoming 

 rose or even red, the crater remaining white. Colonies on maltose peptone 

 agar are small, discrete, yellowish white, waxy, wrinkled, becoming pinkish; 

 the medium brownish. Colonies on potato are spherical, becoming confluent 

 in a heaped-up, irregular, mammillate mass, creamy yellowish white to red- 

 dish, depending on the acidity of the medium, with a white efflorescence. The 

 potato is eroded. According to Vincent there is no growth on serum. Mace 

 claims growth similar to that on agar. No growth on egg albumen. Opaque, 

 whitish, raised, discrete colonies on gelatin. In broth, opaque, white, floccose 

 spheres appear at the bottom ; liquid remains clear. In vegetable decoctions 

 (15 gm. potato, hay, or straw per liter), spherical flocci on sides or bottom, 

 liquid clear but turns somewhat brown and becomes alkaline. Milk not 

 coagulated but peptonized after 20 days. Gelatin not liquefied.

 Inst. Butantan 1: 187-207, Pis. 34-38, 1918-1919. 



Oospora hahiensis Sartory, Champ. Paras. Homme Anim. 784, 1923. 



Isolated from yellow grain maduromycoses. 



Mycelium 1-1.4/* in diameter, arthrospores observed, also deeply staining 

 granules which the author thinks may be endospores. 



Colonies on potato with whitish bloom, at first rose color then deeper red, 

 becoming very dark in old cultures, shape of a mulberry. On yam, growth 

 very slow, colonies rose colored, humid; on carrot, whitish, more humid, be- 

 coming light rose color and the medium finally assuming the same color. On 

 liquid media, forming white granules which collect on the walls and bottom 

 of the tube. No growth on maltose, glycerol, or crude sugar agar. 



Actinomyces Leishmani (Chalmers «fc Christopherson) Sartory & Bailly, 

 Mycoses pulmonaires 253, 1923. 



Streptothrix sp. Birt & Leishman, Jour. Hyg. 2: 120-128, PI. 1, 1902. 



Nocardia Leishmani Chalmers & Christopherson, Ann. Trop. Med. Para- 

 sitol. 10: 255, 1916. 



Isolated from empyema of the lungs. Pathogenic to guinea pigs, rat, and 

 rabbit. 



Ultimate branches of hyphae break up into ovoid arthrospores. Organism 

 a strict aerobe, growing between 22° and 46.5° C, best at 37° C. Growth
