## Abstract Thirtyβsix species belonging to 15 genera of keratinophilic fungi were collected from 50 soil samples gathered from different places of Yemen by using hair fragments as baits at 28 Β°C. Six species of true dermatophytes were collected: __Arthroderma lenticulare__ (= __Trichophyton terres
Two hundred and thirty soil samples from different localities were examined for the presence of geophilic keratinophilic fungi. Six species namely Microsporum gypseum -34 isolates, Chrysosporium keratinophilum -29, C. tropicum -20, Keratinophyton terreum -4, Trichophyton terrestre -8 and Chrysospori
A study was made of soil samples collected during an expedition to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Fungi were isolated from the samples by the method of hair baiting (To-Ka-Va). Of the 33 species isolated, about half showed keratinolytic activity. Such activity is previously unreported for Mucor
