Keratinophilic fungi isolated from soils by a modified hair bait technique

Pages 129-134 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Keratinophilic fungi were isolated from soils of southern California by means of the hair bait technique. Samples were moistened with sterile distilled water alone or with sterile distilled water containing penicillin, streptomycin and varying concentrations of Acidione. Recovery of fungi was approximately doubled when the soils were moistened with water containing the antibiotics.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels der Haarköder-Methode wurden Bodenproben aus Südkalifornien auf keratinophile Pilze untersucht. Die Befeuchtung der Proben erfolgte entweder mit sterilem destilliertem Wasser allein oder mit sterilem destilliertem Wasser, dem Penicillin, Streptomycin und wechselnde Konzentrationen von Cycloheximid (Actidion) zugegeben worden waren. Bei einer Cycolheximid-Konzentration von 4,0 mg/ml wurden 20 bis 60 % mehr Pilze isoliert als bei einer solchen von 0,5 mg/ml.
