Abstract
Forty isolates of a dematiaceous fungus from pulp samples collected from paper mills in New York State are considered to be Torula jeanselmei Langeron ([XI]phialophora jeanselmei (Langeron) Emmons). The fungus is variable; it can be yeastllke at an early state and, after long periods of subculturing, the mold phase becomes dominant. The sporogenous cells are either short protuberances formed along the hyphae, or are long and flask-shaped. The tips of these cells increase in length and many are annellate. An-nellations are shown in photomicrographs and electronmicrographs. Annellospores are formed at the tips and may accumulate there. The generic position of Torula jeanselmei is uncertain; it is neither a Torula nor a Phialophora, but in the meantime it is considered best to use the original name.
