Zusammenfassung:One hundred nine isolates of 10 genera representing 20 species of keratinophilic fungi were isolated from soil of planted earthen pots in indoor environments of 15 localities of Kanpur, India, by the hair baiting technique. Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton vanbreuseghemii, and Botryotrichum piluliferum were found to release 698.66, 512.99, and 519.99μg/ml net protein, respectively, whereas Arthroderma cuniculi released the minimum, 107.99μg/ml. All other isolates were keratinolytically active.
