Halophilic and halotolerant fungi in cultivated desert and salt marsh soils from Egypt
One hundred halophilic and halotolerant species in addition to 3 varieties belonging to 27 genera were collected from 25 samples of cultivated desert and saline soils from different habitats in Egypt on 5-25 percent NaCl-Czapek's agar at 28 degrees C (+-2). The results reveal that there were no...

Zusammenfassung: | One hundred halophilic and halotolerant species in addition to 3 varieties belonging to 27 genera were collected from 25 samples of cultivated desert and saline soils from different habitats in Egypt on 5-25 percent NaCl-Czapek's agar at 28 degrees C (+-2). The results reveal that there were no characteristic halophilic and halotolerant fungi of these various types of soils. Almost all halophilic fungi growing better on 5-25 than 0 percent sodium chloriode were Aspergillus species. Most of the highly and fairly halotolerant fungi were Aspergillus and Penicillium species. All test fungi were halophilic or halotolerant |
