FUNGI IMPERFECTI 



Monilia guillermondi (Castellani, 1910). 



Synonym. — Endomyces guillermondi Castellani, 1910. 



Observed in sputum once by Castellani. Milk is rendered 

 alkaline. Serum and gelatine are not liquefied. For sugar re- 

 actions see table. 



Monilia pseudo-guillermondi Castellani, 1916. 

 Clots milk. 



Monilia nivea (Castellani, 1910). 

 Synonym. — -Endomyces nivevis Castellani. 



Found in a sample of sputum which had not been collected in a 

 sterile vessel. Of doubtful pathogenicity. For cultural and bio- 

 chemical characters see table. 



Monilia nitida (Castellani, 1910). 



Synonym..— Endomyces nitidus Castellani, 1910. 



Observed in a sample of sputum by Castellani. Of doubtful 

 pathogenicity. Milk is rendered first acid, then decolourized and 

 clotted. Other cultural characters are found in the table. 



Monilia zeylaniea (Castellani, 1910). 



Synonym. — Endomyces zeylanicus Castellani, 191 o. 



P'ound in sputum by Castellani. Growth on glucose agar of a 

 yellowish colour. Milk is rendered very acid and is slowly clotted. 

 Gelatine and serum are not liquefied. Does not produce gas in 

 any carbohydrate, with the doubtful exception of raffinose. 



Monilia krusei (Castellani, 1909). 



Synonyms. — Saccharomyces krusei Castellani, Endomyces krusei 

 Castellani. 



Found in sputum by Castellani. In sputum it appeared as a 

 saccharomyces, and in cultures had all the characters of a saccharo- 

 myces at first, except that no asci were observed; after several 

 generations a little mycelium was present on Sabouraud's agar. 

 The sugar reactions are found in the table. It produces acid and 

 gas in glucose and levulose. Its reactions remain constant after 



ten years. Monilia pinoyi (CasteUani, 191 0). 



Synonym.— Endomyces pinoyi Castellani, 1910. 



Found in sputum. Grows well on Sabouraud's and glucose agar, 

 and other sugar media; also on ordinary agar, though less abun- 

 dantly. Does not clot milk; does not liquefy either gelatine or 

 serum. Produces acid and gas in glucose, levulose, maltose. 



Monilia enteriea (Castellani, 1911). 



Synonym 3. —Endomyces entericus Castellani; Monilia psilosis 

 Ashioi'd; Par asaccharomyces ashfordi Anderson, 1916. 



Found in stools by Casteilani. Milk is rendered alkaline. 

 Gelatine and serum are not liquefied. For sugar reactions see table.
