In vitro hair cultures for differentiating between atypical isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum.

Abstract: Isolates ofT. mentagrophytes andT. rubrum are encountered that cannot be distinguished from each other solely on the basis of morphological criteria.

An ecological life history of Aureobasidium pullulans (de Bary) Arnaud

Abstract: The fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (DE BARY) ARNAUD has been known for 90 years under a wide variety of names from a wide variety of habitats. I t has been considered a plant pathogen, a human pathogen, a saprobe, a mold of nectar, of butter, of margarine, of buds, of decaying litter, and of many other habitats. It is commonly known as the \"black yeast\". Among the students of soil populations, of the microbes of decay, and of laboratory contaminants, this fungus has been commonly ,.r !1,~ d Pullularia pullulans (DE BARY) BERKHOUT. However, its importance to the student of the grape in France and I taly antedates other interests, and to phytopathologists in these countries it is known as Aureobasidium pullulans, although it has more nuisance than damage value. The editor of the Experiment Station Record (1894) admitted to knowing of the name Aureobasidium, but believed it was superfluous since, although he probably never saw this fungus, he believed it was really an Exobasidium. The following report is a review of published information concerning this fungus. I t is part of an a t tempt to determine the correct name and some of the bases of variation for the fungus as well as its position in nature. It is based on Outline I I I of \"Ecological life history outlines for fungi\" (CooKE, 1951). A rearrangement of the topics suggested in the outline seems appropriate for our approach here.

Serologic aspects on yeast classification.

Abstract: The classification of living beings is achieved by delimitation based upon their common properties. For this purpose, characteristics of living organisms should refer to those which have been mentioned or published. During such grouping processes, the morphology and growth, as well as biochemical properties reflecting the intermediate metabolism, are first taken into consideration. While there is no contradiction with respect to the classification of higher plants and animals, the criteria mentioned above are not always sufficient to classify microorganisms which are very minute and simple. Therefore, antigenic properties have been considered for the classification of bacteria, mainly pathogenic, but not as yet for yeasts. Furthermore, the serological characteristics of yeasts presented by several investigators (1, 28) have not been routinely adopted as appropriate tools for the classification as have not the GC contents of the DNA of yeasts (14), the coenzyme Q system (35), and the proton magnetic resonance (PMR) spectra of cell wall polysaccharides (7), although the chemical composition of the yeast cell or cell wall is considered to be of prime importance in indicating the relationships among various yeasts. This paper deals with the experimental results of antigen analyses of yeasts, rapid identification recently performed and serological characteristics in the classification of yeasts.

Toxigenic fungi isolated from cereal and legume products

Abstract: An investigation of the toxigenicity of moulds recovered from domestic cereal and legume crops is described. Two hundred and twenty-eight mould strains, representing 59 species, were tested by feeding Pekin ducklings on maize meal infected with pure cultures. Forty-six strains, representing 22 species, caused death within 14 days. These 22 species were subsequently fed to weaned white mice and rats. Seven of these species caused death within 14 days, 6 showed less severe toxic effects while the remaining 9 gave no signs of acute poisoning in the animals.

The mycoflora of domesticated and wild bees (Apoidea)

Abstract: Fungi including yeasts are common in the honey stomachs and provisions of diverse bees. They may be parasites, commensals or mutualistic. Yeasts, singly or in association with bacteria, are pioneer colonizers during a microbial succession in larval cells of many subterranean bees. They are followed by fungi such asAspergillus, Penicillium, Emericellopsis, Sartorya, Pseudoarachniotus, Gymnoascus, Carpenteles andFusarium. Aspergillus flavus andSaccharomyces spp. are pathogenic to many species of bees, and fungi are the main cause of declining alkali bee populations. There are 124 species of fungi, including 36 new records, associated with Apoidea; 49 species are associated with alkali bees.
