Cometabolic growth studies with phenol were undertaken to screen 32 strains of white and brown rot fungi. All the cultures studied grew well up to 4 mM of phenol on CZAPEKDOX agar except Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) and Pleurotus cystidiosus. Most of them could grow even up to 6mM of ph

Abstract
The effect of three doses (the lowest is the recommended dose in the field) of 5 pesticides namely: Ceresan, Orthocid (fungicides), VCSโ438 (herbicide), and Dursban and Dipterex (insecticides) on the mycelial dry weight of Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium italicum, and Sclerotium cepivorum was tested 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days after treatment. All the pesticides induced inhibition of mycelial growth of the test fungi. Only VCSโ438 at the low dose was stimulatory to F. moniliforme after 4 and 6 days and to P. italicum after 4 days. The rate of inhibition was influenced by the type of fungus, the age of the mycelium, and the dose of the pesticide. At the end of the experiment the two fungicides were detoxified by the test fungi with a rate higher than that of the other pesticides.
