distribution of keratinophilic fungi in desert soil of kuwait. | forty soil samples from different desert localities in kuwait were surveyed for keratinophilic and geophilic dermatophytic fungi. sixteen species classified in 9 genera were recovered on wool baits. chrysosporium species were the most common fungi: chr. tropicum (60%), chr. pannicola (32.5%), chr. queenslandicum (27.5%), chr. keratinophilum (25%), chr. indicum (20%) and the chrysosporium anamorph of arthroderma cuniculi. the second dominant genus was malbranchea (27%) represented by two species; ... | 1989 | 2779610 |
keratinophilic fungi of school playgrounds in the nablus area, west bank of jordan. | the distribution of keratinophilic fungi in the soil of 57 school playgrounds in the nablus area was studied with relation to human presence. a total number of 73 species was recovered. thirteen of these species were dermatophytes and closely related fungi. the most common and frequent species of the latter fungi were: arthroderma cuniculi (found in 32.1% of school playgrounds), chrysosporium keratinophilum (32.1%), microsporum gypseum (10.7%), t. terrestre (7.1%), and c. asperatum (7.1%). twent ... | 1989 | 2797112 |
keratinophilic fungi on sheep hairs from the west bank of jordan. | the mycoflora of the hair in 285 sheep from the west bank of jordan was analysed and the frequency of occurrence and the relative importance value for different fungal species found were calculated. ninety six species which belong to 36 genera were isolated. forty one of these species were either well-known agents of animal and human mycoses (trichophyton verrucosum, t. mentagrophytes, microsporum nanum, m. canis, and others), or have been isolated from human and animal lesions (arthroderma cuni ... | 1989 | 2797114 |
[keratinophilic fungal flora isolated from small wild mammals and rabbit-warren in france. discussion on the fungal species found]. | the occurrence of dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi was investigated in 237 small wild mammals and 125 european rabbit. the purpose of the investigation was to determine what were the species of fungi present in the these animals. four species of dermatophytes were isolated: trichophyton ajelloi, trichophyton terrestre, trichophyton mentagrophytes, microsporum persicolor. trichophyton terrestre was the most frequently isolated and it occurred more frequently than its presence could be ... | 1987 | 3662337 |
keratinolysis and its morphological expression in hair digestion by airborne fungi. | the morphological expression of keratinolysis in fungi isolated from the air of torino (98 isolates belonging to 36 species) was studied. light microscopy on whole material and on semithin sections, as well as scanning electron microscopy was used. there were 19 keratinolytically active species, with seven in the genus chrysosporium (c. indicum, c. keratinophilum, c. pannicola, c. tropicum, c. an. arthroderma cuniculi, c. an. pectinotrichum llanense, c. an. renispora flavissima), four in the gen ... | 1994 | 7527126 |
ecology of cycloheximide-resistant fungi in field soils receiving raw city wastewater or normal irrigation water. | the effect of raw city wastewater irrigation on biodiversity and population densities of a cycloheximide-resistant (ch) fungal community was studied in 13 field soils receiving either raw city wastewater or normal irrigation, and in raw city wastewater in the nablus area, using the hair baiting technique (hbt) and a surface soil dilution plating (ssdp) technique. three of these fields [one had been receiving raw city wastewater for more than ten years and was designated a heavily polluted field, ... | 1998 | 10422272 |
incidence of keratinophilic fungi from selected soils of kerala state (india). | one hundred and fifty-eight soil samples were collected from various areas of four districts of kerala and screened for prevalence of keratinophilic fungi and related dermatophytes. from the positive samples (60.75%), a total of eight genera with 15 species were isolated viz., arthroderma simii (0.63%), chrysosporium indicum (20.25%), c. keratinophilum (6.96%). c. lobatum (1.26%), c. pannicola (1.26%), c. tropicum (5.06%), chrysosporium state of arthroderma cuniculi (1.26%), chrysosporium state ... | 2002 | 12749581 |
epidemiological investigation of keratinophilic fungi from soils of djerba (tunisia). | epidemiological investigation of keratinophilic fungi in soil has been carried out in different parts of the world. however, our knowledge of the present occurrence and distribution of keratinophilic fungi in tunisian soils remains unknown. this study was carried out to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of keratinophilic fungi in the soils collected in djerba (south of tunisia). | 2012 | 23518079 |
