A comparison of the urease activity of 56 strains ofT.rubrumand 64 strains ofT.mentagrophyteson Christensen's urea medium with and without agar incubated 7 days at 28 °C showed that characteristic and consistent results are produced on this medium without agar. In the fluid mediumT.mentagrophytescaused a rise in pH, resulting in a maximum change of the phenol red, andT.rubrumproduced no change. The depressing effect of agar on the hydrolysis of urea was demonstrated. On the agar medium 9 (18.8%) of 48 strains ofT.mentagrophytesand 3 (6.2%) of 48 strains ofT.rubrumproduced doubtful results. It is important that pure cultures be used for the test.
