چکیده
The Soil supports a range of microorganisms and is one of the most complex microbial habitats, allowing the fungi to sustain their entire life cycle. Soil is a cosmopolitan habitat for majority of microbial population that can be explored to find out more specific fungal flora.1 The soils rich in keratinous material were found to more conducive for keratinophilic fungi2−11 where this group of fungi usually grow abundently and reproduce. The fungi’s nourishment is provided by the keratin substances in skin, hair, nail, feather, horn, hooves, beak etc. The fungi use the keratinous material as carbon source either living or dead.12,13 Within the potential keratinolytic specificity, some of fungi of this group are potential pathogens to human beings and animals.
