Soil and leachate samples with hair bait were subcultured after invasion and subsequent colonisation by the
keratinophilic fungi.
Isolation and molecular identification of
keratinophilic fungi from public parks soil in Shiraz, Iran.
Survey of
keratinophilic fungi from soils in Ahvaz, Iran.
Eleven genera of fungi, including six
keratinophilic genera and one dermatophyte, belonging to nine families were isolated from the 42 hair samples of the rodents (Table 2 and Figure 4).
These are
keratinophilic organisms, and, as such, they invade keratinized tissues, including the stratum corneum, the hair, and the nails.
In amphibians, basic physiologic and anatomic traits that vary among species, such as skin sloughing rate and skin thickness, could provide innate defenses against the
keratinophilic activity of B.
Ecology of dermatophytes and other
keratinophilic fungi in swimming pools and polluted and unpolluted streams.
KEY WORDS:
Keratinophilic fungi, Keratinase, Dermatophytosis, Domestic animals.
Dermatophytes are a group of
keratinophilic and keratinolytic molds, some of which are responsible for ringworm.
The maintenance and preservation of
keratinophilic fungi and related dermatophytes.
Dermatophytes are
keratinophilic and keratinolytic, meaning they digest keratin and utilize it as a nutrient source.
Dermatophytoses refer to superficial fungal infection of keratinised tissues- skin, hair and nail caused by
keratinophilic dermatophytes.
