1624–1628. 1964.—The influence of various carbohydrates on the growth and sporulation of
Allescheria boydii
was studied by incorporating the test substance in a medium consisting of the inorganic salts mixture contained in Czapek Dox medium with 2% agar. The data indicate that a wide variety of carbohydrates serve adequately as the sole source of carbon for
A. boydii
, and for its imperfect form,
Monosporium apiospermum
. Of those compounds tested, only raffinose and inulin were not assimilated by any of the organisms; one strain differed from all others tested in not being able to utilize sucrose. Of the ascigerous strains tested, those maintained in stock culture for a long period of time were able to grow somewhat more profusely on the various carbohydrates; recently isolated strains produced ascocarps in greater abundance. In contrast to reports appearing in the literature, these organisms are capable of assimilating mannitol, maltose, and lactose.
