myces, but also contain Schizomycetes and the mycelia of moulds. 

 When cultivated, the Fungus forms long-jointed, richly branched threads; 

 at the upper end of each articulation there is usually a crown or bundle 

 of shorter cells, which are oval or round in form, and bud in their turn. 

 In other cases, all the cells of a bud-colony remain short, and assume 

 a rounded form. This Fungus excites alcoholic fermentation only in a 

 small degree. 



According to Grawitz (Virchow's Archiv fur Path. Anat. und 

 Phys., vol. Ixx. p. 557), S. albicans is identical with S. Mycoderma.
