Abstract

The influence of depth and humus content of soil, on the presence of keratinophilic fungi in 4 layers (1–10 cm, 11–25 cm, 26–40 cm, 41–55 cm) of carbonate meadow, chernozem carbonate meadow and carbonate alluvial soils was studied. Different keratinophilic fungi were found not only in individual soils but also in different layers of the same soil. The greatest number and quantity occurred in soil with highest humus content. These fungi were present in greatest amount in the superficial layers (1–10 and 11–25 cm) of all soils investigated.

Zusammenfassung

In verschiedenartigen Böden (“Karbonat-Wiesenboden”, “Tschernosem-Karbonat-Wiesenboden” und “karbonatischer Alluvialboden”) wurde der Einfluss der Tiefe und des Humusgehaltes auf das Vorkommen keratophiler Pilze in vier Schichten untersucht (1–10 cm, 11–25 cm, 26–40 cm und 41–55 cm) Nicht nur in den verschiedenen Bodenarten, sondern auch in verschiedenen Schichten gleicher Böden wurden verschiedene Species keratinophiler Pilze gefunden. In den Böden mit dem grössten Humusgehalt waren Pilzdichte und Zahl der Species am grössten. Unabhängig von der Bodenart wurden in den oberflächlichsten Schichten (1–10 und 11–25 cm) die meisten Pilze festgestellt.
