Abstract
Keratinophilic fungi were isolated from samples of soil collected in the extremity of Chile, in Southern Shetland and Antarctic continent. Two new species, M. magellanicum and C. antarctica are described. M. magellanicum is characterized by verrucose or verruculose clavate macroconidia predominantly uniseptate, 4.8-7.2 .mu. .times. 14.4-21.6 .mu.. C. antarctica has conidiophores usually verticillately, pseudoverticillately and sympodially branched; and globose conidia with evident spines, 12.8-16 .mu. in diameter.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
