Distribution of certain allomyces species in some Egyptian soils

ABSTRACT

An attempt has been made to study the distribution of Allomyces species in some Egyptian soils at Aswan, Asyut, Minya, Beni-Suef, Giza, Cairo, Zagazig, Banha, Tanta and Ismailia. Soil samples were collected from these localities for such a purpose. Sterile boiled hemp seeds were used for isolation and purification of these fungi. Results have shown that certain Allomyces species were recorded in some Egyptian soils, and they are giver, the names Allomyces orbrtsculus, 4. javanicus, A. neo-moniliformis and A. moniliformis
