A DWARF FORM OF MICROSPORUM-GYPSEUM

[摘要] A new variety of M. gypseum is descr. This strain conforms in all respects with the characteristics of M. gypseum except for the size of the macroconidia. Due to the development of small spores it has been given the name of M. gypseum. var. nana. In a human volunteer and in the exptl. animals lesions were produced similar to that seen in the original patient. The hairs were not invaded, but scrapings from the exptl. lesions showed actively growing mycelium, and the organism was recovered in an unchanged form from the exptl. animals.
