A system for the evaluation of antifungal activity of volatile compounds has been developed that is based on dynamic growth of a single hypha. The newly developed system is composed of a reaction vessel under a microscope, automatic stage, charge coupled device (CCD) camera, TV monitor, video tape r

β¦ Synopsis
The dynamic growth rate of a single hypha of Aspergillus niger was analysed using an automatic system. A colony of A. niger was in contact with saline, saline containing an antifungal agent, and flushing saline, in sequence. The growth rate of a test hypha selected arbitrarily from the colony responded dynamically to the antifungal agent. The minimum concentration that caused the complete inhibition of hyphal growth was defined as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC values obtained were compared with those determined by conventional methods based on increasing rate of colony diameter or dry matter weight.

## Abstract It has been proved that the dependence of the growth rate __V__ of a LPE GaAs layer on the relative supersaturation Ο of the solution at the interphase boundary can be determined on the basis of growth rate measurements of this layer in the case when crystallization is controlled by the
