  • Title: Keratinolytic fungi in Egyptian soils.
    Author: Abdel-Fattah HM, Moubasher AH, Maghazy SM.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1982 Jul 23; 79(1):49-53. PubMed ID: 6181404.
    Abstract:
    The frequency of occurrence of keratinolytic fungi in seventy soil samples collected from different sites in Upper Egypt and in the coastal area of the Mediterranean and baited with human and animal hair and pigeon feathers was determined. Twenty-one species in addition to an unidentified species, which belong to sixteen genera were collected. Chrysosporium indicum, B. tropicum, C. keratinophilum and Microsporum gypseum were the most frequent fungal species recovered from baited soils. The eight soil samples collected from the salt marshes of the coastal Mediterranean area were completely free from any keratinolytic fungi, whereas the sixty-two soil samples collected from cultivated soils contributed a species ranging from one to four species.
