The ability of five keratinophilic fungi, i.e., Chrysosporium indicum, Geotrichum candidum, Gymnoascoideus petalosporus, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and Talaromyces trachyspermus, to digest human hair keratin in stationary culture has been studied. Degradation of human scalp hair was studied by dete
