Abstract
Results of a preliminary survey of pathogenic fungi in soils collected from forest, riverside and residential garbage soil in Jabalpur, India, are reported. A total of 45 soils samples were examined, of which 39 (87 %) were positive for fungi, 66 species of fungi classified in 35 genera were isolated: Chrysosporium (78 %), Fusarium (69 %), Aspergillus (47 %), Microsporum (38 %), Gliocladium (16 %), Acremonium (11 %), Penicillium (11 %), Humicola (9 %), Scopulariopsis (7 %), Paecilomyces (7 %), Cladosporium (7 %); Chaetomium, Colletotrichum, Cunninghamella, Microascus and Rhizopus (4 % each); Absidia, Aphanocladium, Arthrobotrys, Botryotrichum, Candida, Cephaliophora, Cephalosporium, Curvularia, Histoplasma, Mucor, Shanorella, Syncephalastrum, Thermomyces, Trichophylon, Trichothecium and Verticillium (2 % each); mycelia sterilia (6 %). Acremonium persicinum, Cladosporium trichoides and Shanorella spirotricha are new to India. A new species of Humicola has also been isolated.Keywords
