742 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Mycelium 0.6-1.3/a, rarely branched, easily dissociating into bacilliform 

 arthrospores. Aero-anaerobe.

Isolated from a case clinically resembling bubonic plague in which the 

 author was unable to demonstrate the plague bacillus. 



Hyphae 0.2-0 A/x in diameter. No spores seen. Organism aerobic, optimum 

 temperature 37° C. Gram-negative, acid-fast. 



Colonies on Sabouraud agar, potato glycerol, and carrot are white, deli- 

 cate, velvety with deeper growth a compact, fleshy mass v/hich erupts smooth, 

 salmon-colored mounds through the velvet. Growth on gelatin very slow. 

 No liquefaction.

Isolated from a case of mycetoma. Pathogenic to monkeys, dogs, and 

 guinea pigs. Hyphae branching, club forms in tissues ; acid-fast, gram-posi- 

 tive. Optimum temperature 37° C. 



Colonies on agar are smooth, white, glistening ; on glycerol agar, elevated, 

 sometimes umbilicate, yellowish with pink periphery. On potato, growth 

 good, elevated, delicate pink with yellow center. Starch not hydrolyzed, milk 

 and gelatin not digested.
