Interaction among coprophilous fungi and its relation with degradation

Six species of coprophilous fungi were isolated from cow dung. Each species, or a combination of two or more, were inoculated on dung and their capacity of degradation of the substrate was measured as dry weight loss, endoglucanase activity and loss of cellulose. Degradation of CMC agar medium was a...

Sumario:Six species of coprophilous fungi were isolated from cow dung. Each species, or a combination of two or more, were inoculated on dung and their capacity of degradation of the substrate was measured as dry weight loss, endoglucanase activity and loss of cellulose. Degradation of CMC agar medium was also established. As a result of their interespecific relationship, a minor degradative capacity was observed when more than one species were cultured except for one combination.
