Keratinophilic fungi: Their role in nature and degradation of keratinic substrates
Keratinophilic fungi are natural colonizers of keratinic substrates. Some are keratinolytic and play an important ecological role in decomposing α-keratins, the insoluble fibrous proteins. Because of the tight packing of their polypeptide chains in α-helix structures and their linkage by disulphide bridges, they are poorly biodegradable. Two main forms of attack have been identified: surface er...
متن کاملPrevalence of non-keratinophilic fungi in the soil.
Majority of the fungi producing diseases in man and animals exist freely in nature as soil saprophytes or plant pathogens and gain entrance into the body through abrasion, implantation or inhalation. Adametz isolated fungi for the first time from the soil in the year 1886, since then there has been very few reports. Manipal and surrounding places being coastal areas, experience heavy rainfall w...
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 کاملOccurance of Keratinophilic Fungi from the Soils of Chhattisgarh
Soil is considered as the most complex media of microbial inhabitants including fungi. Soils differ in chemical composition and support the growth of specific fungal flora, however, majority of the soil fungi are autochthonous being indigenous to soil environment. Some of the soil fungi are associated with human and animal diseases and cause chronic problems. The soil containing keratin materia...
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%) ...
