Occurrence of Microsporum gypseum in some Egyptian soil inhabited by animals

Ninety nine soil samples were collected from domestic as well as from zoo animals enclosures. M. gypseum was recovered from thirty three samples. The high rate of M. gypseum isolation was from yards inhabited by ponies, cattle and horses. The role of soil in playing a major part as reservoir of infection to animals was emphasized

Evaluation of the antifungal activity of enilconazole against pathogenic fungi

Imaverol [Enilconazole] was proved to kill spores of aspergillus fumigatus after 10 minutes to 1 micro g/m1 [AOAC method]. A concentration of 1 mg/m1 killed dermatophytes after 5 minutes and 3 mg/m1 killed Candida albicans after 10 minutes

Genetical relationships among some of fusarium on biochemical basis I-byproducts; fusaric acid

Fusaric acid was found in the mycelial extracts of Fusarium oxyspoum of fabae, F. monitiforme and F oxysporiv-um F. nevium, while F. oxysporum of. lycopersici, F. semitictum, and F. oxyspori m f. vasinfectum did not show fusaric acid. The media filtrates of the six Fusarium spp. and forms did not show any fusaric acid

Genetical relationships among some species of fusarium on biochemical basis II Free and protein amino acids

Eleven amino-acids were detected from freeze dried mycelial extracts of six Fusarium spp. and forms in both free and protein amino-acids chromatograms. The free amino acid concentrations were characteristic for each of the Fusarium spp. their total concentrations arranged the Fusaria under study in a descending manner as follows F, exysporum f. fobae, F. semitictum, F. moniliforme, F.o, nevium, F.o. vasinfecturn and F.o. lycopersici, respectively. The protein amino acids were also characteristic to the six fusaria but not parallel to those of free amino acids. The total concentrations of protein amino acids arranged the six Fusaria in a descending manner as follows; F. semitictum, F.o. lycopersici, F.o. nevium, F. moniliforme, Ro. fabae and F.o. vasir fertun: respectively. The total concentrations of both free and protein amino kids arranged the six studied fusara in a descending manner as follows. F. semitictum, F.o. fabae, F.o. nevium, F. moniliforme, F.o. lycopersici and F.o. vasinfecturn, respectively
