a white margin ; conidia globose, ellipsoi d, 8-4x11-2 ,,, olive ;

* SACCHARQMYCETES. 
Unicellular, multiplying themselves by budding, and reproducing 
themselves by endogenous spores. Living singly or in bud-colonies, 
chiefly in saccharine solutions. 
Gknus 51. SACCHAROMYCES. Meyen. 
Unicellular, with vegetative increase by budding, and reproduc- 
tion by spores, which, for the most part, arise by subdivision of the- 
contents of the mother-cell. 
2026. Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Meyen. 
Cells mostly round, or oval (8-9 y long), isolated, or united in 
small colonies; spore-forming cells isolated (11-14 y long); 
spores, mostly three or four together in each mother-cell (4-5 a 
diam.). 
In beer. (Fig. 340.) 
2027. Saccharomyces ellipsoideus. Reess. 
Cells elliptic, mostly 6 y. long, isolated, or united in little 
branched colonies; spore-forming cells mostly isolated ; spores 2-4 
together in each mother-cell (3-3| y. diara.). 
Producing spontaneous fermentation in must. 
2028. Saccharomyces apiculatus. Reess. 
Cells lemon-shaped, shortly apiculate at each end (6-8 y long), 
sometimes slightly elongated, and at length oval, daughter-cells 
arising only from the ends of the mother-cell, for the most part 
soon isolated, rarely united in small, scarcely branched colonies. 
In fermentation of wino. (Fig. 343.) 
2029. Saccharomyces mycoderma. Reess. 
Cells oval, elliptic, or cylindrical (6-7 y long, 2-3 'y broad), 
united in richly-branched colonies. The cells often elongated, so 
as to resemble a mycelium. Spore-forming cells as much as 20 'y 
long; spores 1-4 in each mother-cell. 
On fermented fluids, etc.
