Extreme Degradation of Human Hair by Keratinophilic and Keratinolytic Fungi
Head hairs from a 19-year-old female murder victim, who had been buried for 36 years, were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmitted light microscopy. The hairs exhibited a range of biodeterioration artifacts. In some areas on the hairs, the cuticular scales were intact; in others, scales had become loosened; and in yet other areas, scales had been completely lost, exposing...
متن کاملUltrastructure of the invasion of human hair in vitro by the keratinophilic fungus Microsporum gypseum.
The pattern of invasion of human hair in vitro by the dermatophyte Microsporum gypseum was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Mycelia that invaded the hair cortex through the edge of cuticles showed a flattened "frond" growth in contrast to the filamentous form seen on ordinary laboratory media. The frond cells were characterized by the presence of vesicles formed by inva...
متن کاملStudies of Keratinolytic and Keratinophilic Fungi in Sewage Sludge by Means of a Multi-Temperature Hair Baiting Method
Sewage sludge was examined for keratinolytic and keratinophilic fungi by means of a multi-temperature (23, 26, 29, 33, 37 and 45oC) hair baiting method. Results indicate that this method can be a useful tool for determination of the influence of temperature and other factors on fungal composition in sludge and evaluation of health risk posed by fungal pathogens. The use of the method facilitate...
متن کاملNondermatophytic filamentous keratinophilic fungi and their role in human infection
Keratinophilic fungi include a variety of filamentous fungi mainly comprising hyphomycetes and several other taxonomic groups. Hyphomycetes include dermatophytes and a great variety of nondermatophytic filamentous fungi. Most of the latter occur as saprophytes in soil, and some are plant pathogens. Chrysosporium species are the commonest nondermatophytic filamentous fungi and are predominantly ...
متن کاملIncidence of keratinophilic fungi in waterlogged condition of paddy soil.
Prevalence of keratinophilic fungi was observed in paddy field soil during different stages of cultivation viz., transplanting, tillering, milking and maturation. Out of total 76 soil samples, 65 soil samples were found to be positive for the keratinophilic fungi. Fourteen species belonging to a single genus Chrysosporium were isolated through out the cropping season. C. keratinophilum (17.1%) ...
