Abstract

A report on an examination of residential garbage soil in Jabalpur, for Hyphomycetes fungi by mouse passage and direct plating methods is presented. A total of 389 isolates represented 39 genera and 95 species of which Aspergillus was the most frequent (59.15%) followed by Candida (21.15%), Fusarium (21.9 %), Mucor (18.43%), Rhizopus (16.5%), which were most frequently isolated. Maximum colonization of hyphomycetes fungi was found in the lungs, spleen, kidney and heart. Mouse passage technique particularly using cortisone treated animals was found very effective in detecting a broad spectrum of Hyphomycetes fungi.
