LYSKOVÁ P. (2007): Saprotrophic microscopic fungi and dermatophytes accompanying infections of the skin and nails of patients in the Moravian-Silesian Region (Czech Republic).   [saprotrophic microscopic fungi, dermatophytes, superficial mycose, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis]  Czech Mycology 59(1): 125-137   (published: 28th June, 2007)
  abstract   Over a 19-month period, the spectrum of saprotrophic microscopic fungi isolated from 245 patients in the Moravian-Silesian Region (Czech Republic) was analysed. Saprotrophic microscopic fungi were isolated from nails (90 %) and skin (10 %). None was isolated from hair. The material was the most frequently positive for the presence of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (32.6 %) followed by Cladosporium sphaerospermum (5.3 %), Aspergillus versicolor (4.0 %), Geomyces pannorum (4.0 %) and others.Dermatophytes and saprotrophic microscopic fungi were both studied within one year and represented 1110 isolates. Dermatophytes were isolated in most of the cases and represented 943 isolations (85 %). The saprotrophic microscopic fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is a known causative agent of onychomycosis. In the evaluation including dermatophytes it ended in the 3rd position with 5.2 % of isolations behind Trichophyton rubrum (80 %) and T. mentagrophytes (8 %).

  abstract   An orientational survey of taxonomy of fungi which have been described as agents of human mycoses is given. An alphabetical list of 163 agents contains data on synonyms of the individual species and organs afflicted by them. The literature citation of the earliest paper calling attention to pathogenicity is provided. Current nomenclature of anamorph and teleomorph stages and their mutual relation is discussed.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1982): New or rare records of some Deuteromycetes and Ascomycetes from Czechoslovakia.  Česká Mykologie 36(2): 100-108   (published: 1982)
  abstract   A new collection of a remarkable discomycete Daleomyces phillipsii (Massée) Seaver is reported from Southern Moravia, Czechoslovakia. A detailed description of macro and micro-features with emphasis on conspicuous giant size of fruitbodies is given. Taxonomic problems of this species known in present literature as Peziza proteana (Boudier) Seaver forma sparassoides (Boud.) Korf and of the genus Daleomyces Setch. are discussed. The only previous collection of this fungus described from Czechoslovakia as Aleuria proteana var. slavkoviensis Neuwirth (1946) is evaluated too. The genus Daleomyces with two known species is placed in the family Pezizaceae and a new combination – Daleomyces campbellii (Sacc.) J. Mor. c. n. is made.

  abstract   In Parker ink-stained preparations from scales of affected nails in cases of onychomycosis, it is sometimes possible to microscopically distinguish Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (Sacc.) Bainier from Trichophyton rubrum (Cast.) Sabouraud and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Robin) Blanchard var. interdigitale Priestley.

MOUBASHER A.H., ABDEL-SATER M.A., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2018): Diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in mud from hypersaline and freshwater bodies in Egypt.   [fungal diversity, alkalinity, Wadi El-Natrun, lakes, Ibrahimia Canal, River Nile, molecular characterisation, ITS]  Czech Mycology 70(1): 1-32   (published: 26th January, 2018)
  abstract   The diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in muds from hypersaline alkaline lakes of Wadi ElNatrun and fresh water of the Nile River and Ibrahimia Canal was evaluated. The mean pH of saline water mud was 9.21, but fresh water mud registered 8.07. A total of 193 species (two varieties were distinguished in two of them) belonging to 67 genera were recovered from both muds investigated on DRBC (55 genera, 164 species), DG18 (36 genera, 117 species) and MY50G (23 genera, 76 species) media. From these, 17 species assigned to 12 genera were yeasts and 176 species and 2 varieties assigned to 55 genera were filamentous fungi. The highest numbers of fungal propagules were recovered on DRBC from freshwater mud, while the lowest on MY50G from saline water mud. Yeasts constituted a small proportion of all propagules from the two mud types on all three media, whereas filamentous fungi were the major component. However, freshwater mud samples yielded higher numbers of yeast genera and species using all three media. Candida was common in freshwater mud and rare in saline water mud, while Meyerozyma and Rhodotorula were infrequent in both muds. The remaining yeast species were recovered from freshwater mud only. Aspergillus (46 species) was the most common genus of filamentous fungi encountered in all samples, ranging in frequency from 39.82% to 96.62%; A. terreus, A. flavipes and A. niger dominated in both types of mud. Cladosporium (9 species), Fusarium (8 species), Penicillium (18 species) and Scopulariopsis (7 species) were encountered in both types of mud. Notably, 47 filamentous species were isolated only on the media with lower water activity (DG18, MY50G).

ABDEL-SATER M.A., MOUBASHER A.H., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2016): Diversity of filamentous and yeast fungi in soil of citrus and grapevine plantations in the Assiut region, Egypt.   [Mycobiota, biodiversity, phenotypic and biochemical characterisation, ITS sequence, Coniochaeta canina, Aspergillus stella-maris]  Czech Mycology 68(2): 183-214   (published: 20th December, 2016)
  abstract   An extensive survey of soil mycobiota on citrus and grapevine plantations in Sahel-Saleem City, Assiut Governorate, Egypt was carried out using the dilution-plate method and 2 isolation media at 25 °C. Sixty-four genera and 195 species of filamentous fungi and 10 genera and 13 species of yeasts were recovered. A higher diversity (number of genera and species) and gross total counts were recovered from citrus than from grapevine soil. The peak of filamentous fungi recovered from both soils was found to be in February. Aspergillus (45 species) was the most dominant genus; A. ochraceus predominated in citrus plantations, while A. niger and A. aculeatus in grapevine. The Penicillium count came second after Aspergillus in citrus (23 species) and after Aspergillus and Fusarium in grapevine (11 species).Penicillium citrinum, P. ochrochloron and P. olsonii were more common in citrus plantations, but they were replaced by P. oxalicum in grapevine soil. Fusarium (19 species) was represented in 88.9–100% of both soils on both media; F. solani predominated in both soils, while F. incarnatum came next in citrus, and F. babinda and F. oxysporum in grapevine. Humicola (3 species) with the dominant H. fuscoatra was recorded in 61.1–83.3% of soil of both plantations, while Talaromyces (with T. purpureogenus followed by T. pinophilus being the most common) was recorded in 83.3–100% on DRBC and 38.9–50% on DYM from the soil of plantations of both crops. Volutella (5 species) was common in citrus but missing from grapevine soil. The present study reveals that hyaline fungi predominated over dark-coloured ones. Yeasts comprised only minor proportions in both soils (maximum 0.5%). They showed their peak in the soil of citrus plantations in April and in grapevine in February. All species were recovered in one or two samples only. Diutina catenulata, Debaryomyces hansenii, Galactomyces (3 species), Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Meyerozyma caribbica, and Schwanniomyces pseudopolymorphus were encountered in citrus only, while Cryptococcus laurentii, Pichia kudriavzevii, Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Rhodotorula sp. in grapevine only. Physiological and growth characteristics were obtained for most of the recovered yeasts.

ABDEL-HAFEZ S.I.I., ABO-ELYOUSR K.A.M., ABDEL-RAHIM I.R. (2015): Leaf surface and endophytic fungi associated with onion leaves and their antagonistic activity against Alternaria porri.   [phyllosphere, phylloplane, endophytes, purple blotch disease, antagonism]  Czech Mycology 67(1): 1-22   (published: 10th April, 2015)
  abstract   Sixty-eight fungal species belonging to 29 genera were isolated as leaf surface and endophytic fungi from healthy and purple blotch diseased onion leaves. The fungal populations associated with diseased onion leaves (1.360 × 103 CFU/g leaf in the phyllosphere, 2.614 CFU/leaf segment in the phylloplane and 1.324 CFU/leaf segment in the surface-sterilised diseased leaves) were higher than those in healthy samples (0.804 × 103 CFU in the phyllosphere, 1.184 CFU in the phylloplane, and 0.35 CFU as endophytes). Endophytic fungi of healthy leaves were represented by 12 genera and 15 species, while fungi of surface-sterilised diseased leaves included 17 species from 13 genera. The mycobiota associated with surface-sterilised diseased leaves were different from the endophytic fungi of healthy samples, whereas the disease may stimulate colonisation of opportunistic fungi causing secondary infections such as Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium spp. In contrast, healthy leaves were a source of antagonistic endophytic fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum and T. koningii. Testing the antagonistic effect of 91 fungal isolates against Alternaria porri showed that nine isolates of Trichoderma produced the highest suppressive potential (73.1%) depending on competition and mycoparasitism. Epicoccum nigrum and Penicillium oxalicum exhibited antibiosis against A. porri producing a 12 mm broad inhibition zone. In conclusion, the quantitative and qualitative compositions of fungi associated with onion leaves were distinctly influenced by A. porri infection. Mycobiota associated with asymptomatic onion leaves such as Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum are a natural source of eco-friendly bioagents. They showed an effective antagonistic potential against A. porri, and may thus be applied as an alternative to fungicides.

TALIGOOLA H.K., ISMAIL M.A., CHEBON S.K. (2011): Mycobiota and aflatoxins associated with imported rice grains stored in Uganda.   [rice grain, xerophilic fungi, nephrotoxigenic penicillia, Fusarium, aflatoxins]  Czech Mycology 63(1): 93-107   (published: 10th August, 2011)
  abstract   Milled rice grains imported into Uganda from Pakistan were investigated for natural contamination by fungi and aflatoxins. The direct plating method using five isolation media was used to enumerate and isolate the fungi during a 270-day storage period. Fungi were isolated and identified to species level and the percentage contamination levels were calculated. A total of 35 species belonging to 16 genera were recorded. The broadest species spectrum were found in the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Eurotium and Fusarium, which were represented by 11, 7, 4, and 3 species, respectively. Throughout the storage period, xerophilic fungi including Aspergillus candidus, Eurotium amstelodami and E. chevalieri were predominantly isolated. Species of the genus Penicillium (particularly P. pinophilum) and its teleomorph Talaromyces ranked second in predominance, while Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium spp. and other field fungi occurred only sporadically. Aflatoxins were recorded in rice samples during most storage periods with one sample recording 20–50 ppb. The moisture content increased in rice grains attaining values of over 14 % from the 180th day of storage onwards. A positive correlation was observed between moisture content and incidence of xerophiles, including A. candidus and E. amstelodami.

ABDULLAH S.K., MONFORT E., ASENSIO L., SALINAS J., LOPEZ LLORCA L.V., JANSSON H.B. (2010): Soil mycobiota of date palm plantations in Elche, SE Spain.   [soil saprotrophic fungi, phytopathogenic fungi, Phoenix dactylifera, isolation methods]  Czech Mycology 61(2): 149-162   (published: 10th August, 2010)
  abstract   The mycobiota of soil from date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) plantations in Elche, SE Spain was examined using 23 soil samples and five isolation methods. One hundred and nineteen species assigned to 67 genera were isolated. The most frequent species were in decreasing order: Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, Neosartorya spinosa, Thielaviopsis punctulata, Chaetomium bostrychodes, Gilmaniella macrospora, Aspergillus candidus, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizopus microsporus, Sordaria fimicola, Aspergillus terreus, Chaetomium murorum, Fusarium solani, Mucor racemosus, Penicillium citrinum and Thielaviopsis paradoxa. The thermotolerant and thermophilic species of Malbranchea cinnamomea, Myriococcum thermophilum, Rhizomucor miehei, Scytalidium thermophilum, Talaromyces emersonii, Thermoascus aurantiacus and Thermomyces lanuginosus were detected in various frequencies of occurrence. Our findings are compared with those from a similar survey of soil from date palm plantations in Iraq. Our study indicates that there is no characteristic mycobiota for soil in date palm plantations except for the more frequent isolation of some species well known as pathogens on date palm.

KUBÁTOVÁ A. (2006): Chaetomium in the Czech Republic and notes to three new records.   [Ascomycota, pyrenomycetes, Sordariales, Chaetomium, microfungi]  Czech Mycology 58(3-4): 155-171   (published: 29th December, 2006)
  abstract   Chaetomium (Ascomycota, Sordariales, Chaetomiaceae) is a species-rich genus, with about 100 currently accepted species. Data on the occurrence of Chaetomium species in the Czech Republic were not yet summarised; this paper is the first attempt. So far, 14 Chaetomium species were published from the area of the Czech Republic. The author presents new records of three other Chaetomium (C. aureum, C. madrasense, and C. robustum) isolated from various substrates in the Czech Republic. Short descriptions and photographs are included.

Colloquium „Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - III“ Olomouc, Czech Republic, 2 September 2005.  Czech Mycology 57(3-4): 307-323   (published: 10th February, 2006)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of the previous scientific meetings that took place in Olomouc in 1999 and 2002 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000 and 55: 103-149, 2003). It was organised by the Commission for Experimental Mycology of the Czechoslovak Microbiological Society and the Czech Scientific Society for Mycology together with the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Medicine of Palacký University, Olomouc. The aim of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on experimental mycology in all branches of basic and applied research. Besides two plenary lectures, 8 short communications and 8 posters were presented. In total 32 researchers from the Czech and Slovak Republics took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further development of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

(anamorph of Neocosmospora vasinfecta var. africana).   [fungi, soil, turkeylitter, Slovakia]  Czech Mycology 57(3-4): 239-248   (published: 10th February, 2006)
  abstract   Four species of the genusAcremonium (Ascomycota, Hypocreales), namely A. atrogriseum, A. roseogriseum, A. spinosum, and Acremonium sp. (teleomoiph Neocosmospora vasinfecta var. africana) hitherto not reported from Slovakia, are described and illustrated here.The former one was isolated from turkey litter, while the latter three were recovered from a soil sample. Representative strains of the fungi are deposited in the Microbiology Department Collection, SUA in Nitra.

NOVÁKOVÁ A., PIŽL V. (2003): Mycoflora in the intestine of Eisenia andrei (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) and in vermiculture substrates.   [cattle manure, saprotrophic and cellulolytic microfungi, earthworms]  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 83-102   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   Mycoflora of three commercial vermiculture systems based on cattle manure derived sub­ strates and Eisenia andrei earthworms was studied using several isolation methods. A total of 172 taxa of saprotrophic micromycetes were isolated (19 taxa of Zygomycetes, 9 taxa of Ascomycetes and 144 taxa of mitosporic fungi). Aspergillus fumigatus was the most frequent microfungal species in the intestine of Eisenia andrei. In vermicuture substrates, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus were among species isolated very frequently by the soil dilution method, while Rhizopus stolonifer was estimated as frequent species using the soil washing isolation technique.

KUNERT J., NOVOTNÝ R. (2002): Degradation of human hair by three soil fungi. An electron microscopic study.   [keratinophilic fungi, keratinolysis, human hair, electron microscopy]  Czech Mycology 53(3): 189-201   (published: 10th January, 2002)
  abstract   Degradation of hair keratin has been studied in three soil fungi differing in keratinolytic ability, viz. Keratinophyton terreum, Dictyoarthrinopsis kelleyi and Fusarium moniliforme. All fungi attacked the hair cuticle forming specialised mycelial organs, fronds, under the scale-like cuticular cells. The cortex was attacked by very thin “boring hyphae”. Their growth was intracellular and perpendicular to the hair axis. In Keratinophyton terreum older boring hyphae branched into complex formations, displayingclearlytic action on keratin. In Dictyoarthrinopsis kelleyi branching was rare and lysis of keratin weaker. In Fusarium moniliforme, a fungus not regarded askeratinophilic, the growth of boring hyphaeceasedearly and the lyticaction remained minimal. All fungi digested the less keratinised parts of the hairs (endocuticle, intercellular substance, interfibrillar matrix) prior to the lysis of hard keratin fibrils.

HÝSEK J., BROŽOVÁ J. (2001): The role of some saprophytic micromycetes and fungus Micromucor ramannianus var. ramannianus in forest soil.   [humic horizon, soil fungi, saprophytic micromycetes, Micromucorramannianusvar. ramannianus, biological soil functions, respiration, ammonification, nitrification]  Czech Mycology 53(2): 161-171   (published: 20th February, 2002)
  abstract   Different saprophytic micromycetes were isolated from the humic horizon (H-A 02) of different types of forest soils (barren l and of reforested waste dumps, cambisol of spruce, birch, European mountain ash, and blue spruce forests) in several areas (at Most in the Krušné hory (Ore Mts.), Jizerské hory (Izera Mts.)). Besides the spectrum of common species of soil micromycetes (Penicillium spp., Humicola spp., Trichoderma spp., Paecilomyces spp., Scopulariopsis spp., Aureobasidium spp., Mucor spp., Absidia spp.), the fungus Micromucor ramannianus (Möller) Arx var. ramannianus (Mortierella ramanniana (Möller) Linneman, Mucor ramannianus Möller) was regularly isolated from all types of soils, except barren soils of was te dumps. The biological quality of forest soils in connection with other biological characteristics was evaluated in relation to the presence and quantity of this fungus in forest soils. Basic biological processes (basal and potential respiration, ammonification, nitrification) show an increased intensity in forest soils in which the proportion of Micromucorramannianus v. ramannianus was not present in the soil of the worst biological quality (lower values of biological soil parameters), e.g. in of was te dumps. It is a topic for discussion whe the r this fungus can also be an indicator of environmental pollution.

NASSER L., ABDEL-SATER M.A. (1997): Fungi associated with sheep hairs in Saudi Arabia.   [Keratinophilic, non-keratinophilic fungi, sheep hairs]  Czech Mycology 50(2): 99-106   (published: 16th December, 1997)
  abstract   The frequency of occurrence of fungi in 25 hair samples of nine kinds of sheep, collected from different localities in Saudi Arabia, was estimated using three isolation methods at 28°C. Fortyfive species and one variety representing 23 genera were isolated and the most common genera were Chrysosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium. The most prevalent species of the above genera were C. indicum, C. tropicum, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, Penicillium chrysogenum and P. oxalicum. Other fungi were also isolated with variable frequencies.

  abstract   Abstracts from the Penicillium Seminar, June 9, 1994, Prague, Czech Republic. The seminar was held by Czech Scientific Society for Mycology, Division of Micromycetes. At this one-day regional seminar ten Czech and Slovak scientists presented the papers cited below.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1995): Micromycetes in archives and book depositories in the Czech Republic.   [Micromycetes, archives, allergies, Czech Republic]  Czech Mycology 48(1): 77-86   (published: 16th May, 1995)
  abstract   Species representation of micromycetes and their frequency were studied in the period 1981-1988 in four archives in Prague and near Prague and in one depository in West Bohemia. Representants of genera Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Mucor and Rhizopus isolated by sediment plate method and from the surfaces of the archive depots were the most frequent in all observed spaces. The higher number of the most frequent species was always found in older and for the archive purposes less convenient buildings, while inside the new building the number of the most frequent species was very low. In suitable conditions only a limited number of species for which the given specific conditions are convenient, act as destructive. They are mostly Penicillium which form coherent growing covers on the backs of the books and cartons. Spores of these fungi released by their growth contaminate the atmosphere of these spaces and can cause allergies in sensitive persons.

ŘEPOVÁ A. (1989): Soil micromycetes from Czechoslovakia-a list of isolated species with bibliography. III.  Česká Mykologie 44(1): 35-50   (published: 22nd February, 1990)
  abstract   A list of micromycetes (saprophytic, keratinophilic, rhizosphere, nematophagous, ovicidal, dermatophytes, and cellular slime moulds) isolated from various Czechoslovak soils is presented. Records about species distribution in Czechoslovakia and bibliography are included for each micromycete species.

KUBÁTOVÁ A. (1989): Eladia saccula (Dale) G. Smith, a new micromycete for Czechoslovakia.  Česká Mykologie 44(1): 20-25   (published: 22nd February, 1990)
  abstract   Two strains of the rather rare micromycete Eladia saccula (Dale) G. Smith were isolated from forest soil in Czechoslovakia and Poland. They are maintained in the Culture Collection of Fungi, Department of Botany, Charles University, Prague (CCF 1978 and CCF 2391). Eladia saccula is reported from Czechoslovakia for the first time. A description is provided on several nutrient media (CZ, CYA, MEA, G25N, and beer wort agar) at 25 °C, 5 °C and 37 °C. The ability to grow at 37 °C is remarkable. Growth is reduced on medium with limited water availability (G25N). Based on typical conidiophore and phialide structures, placement in the genus Eladia is supported over Penicillium.

  abstract   A list of micromycetes (saprophytic, keratinophilic, rhizosphere, nematophagous, ovicidal, dermatophytes, and cellular slime moulds) isolated from various Czechoslovak soils is presented. The paper includes distribution data and literature citations for each species. It is the second installment of the series and documents a wide variety of fungi, including Chaetomium species and other frequently encountered genera.

FRAGNER P. (1987): Microscopical diagnostic of onychomycoses.  Česká Mykologie 41(3): 153-161   (published: 10th August, 1987)
  abstract   Microscopical investigation in medical mycology is not less reliable than cultivation. Group classification is also precise enough in microscopical diagnosis of onychomycoses in KOH preparations with Parker ink (Parker Super Quink, blue-black, permanent). Detailed findings as well as distinguishing features in onychomycoses caused by yeasts, Scopulariopsis and dermatophytes are presented, accompanied by photographs.

  abstract   68 species of microscopic fungi were isolated from the air in the building of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice. 16 species were opportunistic, 12 allergenic, and 13 mycotoxin producers. 8 species were reported as air-borne fungi in literature.

VOLLEKOVÁ A. (1985): Keratinophilic fungi in rodents‘ burrows and in their adjoining surroundings.  Česká Mykologie 39(2): 97-105   (published: 1985)
  abstract   A group of 150 women suspected of mycotic colpitis was examined. Mycological cultures were positive in only 52%. False positives from routine microscopy were noted. Species of yeast, clinical symptoms, findings in oral cavity and rectum, and perianal lesions were reported. Mixed infections were discussed. Patients were treated with vaginal and oral Nystatin. Mycological negativity occurred in 43% of pregnant and 75% of non-pregnant women; complete cure in 24% and 33% respectively. After delivery, 78% of women recovered spontaneously without treatment.

HUBÁLEK Z. (1981): A systematic survey of dimorphic and polymorphic fungi.  Česká Mykologie 35(4): 209-226   (published: 1981)
  abstract   Various definitions of the term dimorphism in fungi are briefly discussed and a general concept is given with a suggested morphological classification of the dimorphism. Dimorphism (and polymorphism) is delimited as an environmentally controlled reversible phenotypic duality (or plurality in the case of polymorphism) in the morphogenesis of the vegetative fungal cells, which is not restricted to pathogenic species and to the mycelial-yeast transitions only. A systematic list and an alphabetical index of the fungi exhibiting the phenomena of cellular dimorphism or polymorphism are presented.

FRAGNER P. (1981): Further experience with Castellani’s „Water cultures“.  Česká Mykologie 35(3): 161-164   (published: 1981)
  abstract   Microscopic fungi survive in sterile, distilled water at laboratory temperature for various lengths of time, from less than 11 months (Kloeckera apiculata) to more than 11 years (Sporothrix schenckii). The survival times of some species as well as their spontaneous variability are given. Castellani’s “water cultures” are only an emergency solution for maintaining live collections. Some yeast species which are morphologically or biochemically similar have also similar survival times in water.

FRAGNER P., HEJZLAR J., RUBEŠ M. (1979): Otomycoses and mycoflora of otitides.  Česká Mykologie 33(4): 229-236   (published: 1979)
  abstract   With one third of the patients suffering from otitis there occur microscopic fungi in the ear swabs, but they can be considered agents of the disease in approximately one half of the positive findings only. During the last 15 years, fungi were cultivated from the ear swabs of 472 patients with various ear diseases, mostly otitis externa. The most frequent yeasts in otomycoses were Candida parapsilosis and C. albicans, while the most frequent Aspergillus species were A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger. Clinical pictures and treatment of some external otitides are briefly mentioned.

VINDUŠKA L. (1979): Fungi in Heterodera schachtii cysts.  Česká Mykologie 33(3): 170-175   (published: 1979)
  abstract   In 1976 and 1977 the occurrence of fungi in Heterodera schachtii Schmidt was determined. From 23.6% of cysts individual fungal species were isolated and determined. In 31.8% of cysts fungi did not occur, from 32.2% cysts bacterial colonies grew and in 12.4% of cysts mixtures of fungi and bacteria were found. From the parasitation point of view, the finding of Verticillium falcatum Petch, Cylindrocarpon destructans (Zinssmeister) Schölten, Humicola grisea Traaen, Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, emend. Snyder et Hansen and Fusarium solani (Mart.) Appel et Wollenw. is important.

  abstract   A new record of dry rot fungus Serpula lacrimans (Wulf. ex Fr.) Schroet. on the trunk bases of two living trees of Norway Spruce Picea abies (L.) Karst. in the Botanical Garden in Průhonice near Prague is described. Differences between Serpula lacrimans and Serpula himantioides (Fr. ex Fr.) Karst. and the phytopathological significance of the new record are discussed.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1978): Soil micromycetes in abandoned fields in Bohemian Karst.  Česká Mykologie 32(4): 226-234   (published: 1978)
  abstract   An analysis of soil micromycetes in two abandoned fields in the Bohemian Karst during 1976–1977 revealed 64 species in the younger field (7 years) and 50 in the older (50 years). Dominant species in both were: Penicillium albidum, Fusarium solani, Humicola grisea, Absidia cylindrospora, and Mortierella sp. (section Polycephala). The best isolation method used nylon gauze buried in soil.

Abstracts of papers delivered at the 6th Conference of Czechoslovak mycologists held at Pezinok, 19.-23. September 1977.  Česká Mykologie 32(2): 99-122   (published: 1978)
  abstract   Tradice mezinárodních mykologických kongresů není stará. První byl v roce 1971 v anglickém Exeteru. K vrcholným vědeckým setkáním tohoto typu nelze přiřazovat již delší dobu pořádané Sjezdy evropských mykologů. Druhý mezinárodní mykologický kongres se konal ve dnech 27. VIII. až 3. IX. 1977 v prostorách University of South Florida v Tampě. Zúčastnilo se ho více než 1200 specialistů ze 43 zemí.

  abstract   The morphology of selected Indian species of the families Xylariaceae and Clavicipitaceae is described. The paper includes four species of Xylaria and one species each of Cordyceps and Balansia, expanding knowledge of these fungal groups in India.

FRAGNER P., HEJZLAR J. (1973): „Graphiosis“- eine neue Erkrankung des Menschen?  Česká Mykologie 27(2): 98-106   (published: 1973)
  abstract   Part of the resting spores of E. virulenta, E. thaxteriana, and E. destruens germinate still after 72 hours of treatment with concentrated ajatin. A culture 14 days old may furnish a viable inoculum after being submerged in concentrated ajatin for 96 hours. The resting spores of all three species are at optimum state in a 14 days old culture, or during the first two months, stored at dry state in the refrigerator (7–15 °C).

DONG B.XUAN (1972): Contributions á l’étude taxonomique des Hyphomycetes (Deuteromycetes). I. Esquisse d’un nouvelle classification.  Česká Mykologie 26(3): 155-166   (published: 1972)
  abstract   Based on conidial development, three fundamental spore types are proposed: arthroconidia, proconidia, and euconidia. This leads to a new classification of the Hyphomycetes into three subgroups: Arthrohyphomycetes, Blastohyphomycetes, and Euhyphomycetes, each further divided into sections. The paper discusses the inadequacy of the Saccardo system and supports modern classification approaches based on conidiogenesis, drawing from various authors and previous studies.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1970): Micromycetes unhabiting the mines of Příbram (Czechoslovakia).  Česká Mykologie 24(3): 162-165   (published: 20th July, 1970)
  abstract   Micromycetes isolated from uranium mines in Příbram include frequent pathogenic species like Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus and rare saprophytes such as Scopulariopsis acremonium, Geotrichum microsporum, Humicola brunnea var. africana and Tritirachium sp. nov. Isolations were made from various substrates and miners’ laryngeal swabs.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1969): Bodenmikromyceten im Gebirge Ždánický les (Steinitzer Wald) und in der Steppe bei Pouzdřany (Pausram).  Česká Mykologie 23(4): 243-252   (published: 15th October, 1969)
  abstract   A total of 122 species of soil micromycetes were identified in 1963 in Ždánický les and the Pouzdřany steppe (South Moravia), including 25 species of Mucorales and 57 of Moniliales. Species diversity was proportional to soil temperature but not to humidity. Steppe was dominated by Aspergillus and Fusarium; forests by Chrysosporium pannorum.

FRÁGNER P., MÚČKA V. (1966): Rubronigrin, new antibiotic substance from Trichophyton rubrum var. nigricans.  Česká Mykologie 20(3): 182-183   (published: 1966)
  abstract   Black-pigmented cultures of Trichophyton rubrum var. nigricans produce an antibiotic called rubronigrin. Effective extraction and purification methods are described. The substance is effective against a broad range of fungi including Cryptococcus, Candida, Aspergillus, Mucor, and others.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1965): Studies on the variability of Penicillium albidum Sopp emend. Fassatiová and the development of the conidia.  Česká Mykologie 19(2): 104-110   (published: 1965)
  abstract   The paper deals with the taxonomic value of Penicillium nigricans Bainier ex Thom, P. albidum Sopp, P. kapuscinskii Zaleski and P. janczewskii Zaleski, of which the author has isolated a number of strains from soil. As a result of her investigations and in accordance with the nomenclatural rules, Penicillium albidum Sopp is emended and is considered the valid name for this taxon with the other species being regarded as synonyms. The author further discusses the method of conidial formation in all the strains of Penicillium albidum Sopp emend. Fassatiová which she has studied and concludes that the development is mesendogenous.
