Caption:
Viewed from the reverse, these two test tubes contained a growth medium of Sabouraud dextrose agar, and had been inoculated with the dermatophytic fungal organism, Epidermophyton floccosum. At this stage, color, and textural characteristics were developing, which would help identify this organism. Initially, from the front (see PHIL 17392), E. floccosum colonial texture is grainy, but with maturation, they develop a more velvety appearance, and become deeply grooved. As you can see here, from the back, these colonies exhibited the characteristic orange to brown coloration, with a yellow border.
