Cells roundish-oval or elongate-clavate, of various dimensions; colonies branched, consisting of primarily club-shaped joints .00072 to .00088 in. long, which form secondary roundish or oval, angular cells .00020 to .00024 in. long. Spore-forming cells roundish or oval; spores two to four .00008 in. in diameter. In the yeast of the secondary fermentation of wine, ciders and self-fermenting beer.

S. a p i c u l a t u s , Reess, (1. c. p. 84.) Exsiccata: Thumen Fungi Austriaca, 263.

Cells lemon-shaped, with a little short point at each end; .00024 to .00032 in. long, .00008 to .00012 in. wide, sometimes a little longer; daughter cells only from the ends of the mother cell, usually soon isolated, rarely joined in little scarcely branched colonies. Spores not known. In the principal fermentation of wine and other spontaneous fermentations."

S . Sphaericus. Saccardo (Michelia I, p. 89, et Fungi Ital. Autogr. del. No. 76.) Exsiccata: Thumen Mycotheca Universalis, 900.

Cells of different forms; the basal one (of a colony) oblong or cylindrical, .00040 to .00060 in. long, .00020 in. wide; the rest globular, .00020 to .00024 in. in diameter, united in crooked, branched, often skein-like families; spore formation not known. In the fermenting juice of Lycopersicum esculentum (Tomato.)

S . g l u t e u s , Cohn (1. c. p. 187.) Synonymi Gryptococcus glutinus, Fresenius, (Beitr. z. Mycol. 2 Heft, p 77.)

Cells globular, oval, oblong, elliptical or short cylindrical, .00020 to .00044 in. long, .00010 wide, isolated, or two, rarely more, united; cell wall and contents in a fresh condition, col6rless, after drying and again moistened a slightly reddish nucleus in the middle; spore formation unknown. On starch paste, slices of potato, etc., forming rose-red slimy spots which at the beginning have a diameter of .02 to .04 in., but gradually spreading and uniting they cover a surface of more than .4 in. square. The coloring matter is not changed by acids or alkalies.

Cells oval, elliptical or cylindrical, .00024 to .00028 in. long, .00008 to .00012 in. wide, united in richly branched colonies. Frequently the cells are elongated, mycelium-like; spore-forming cells reaching a lengfch of .00080 in.; spores one to four in each mother cell. On fermented liquids, sauer-kraut, juices of fruits, etc. On wine and beer,. forming the so-called mold.
