Ninety two fungal species recovered on cellulose -CZAPEK'S agar plates from Egyptian soils were assayed for their cellulolytic activities either at 28 "C (mesophilic) or at 45 "C (thermophilic or thermotolerant). The percentage increase of protein-nitrogen over those of control was taken as a measur

Seventy-five species in addition to 5 varieties of cellulose-decomposing which belong to 27 genera were collected during this investigation. Aspergillus (12 species + 4 varieties), Alternaria (4 species), Stachybotrys (3 species + 1 variety), and Penicillium (12 species) were of high frequency of oc
100 species and 2 varieties ofA. nidulans which belong to 35 genera were identified from 40 samples of barley collected from different places in Upper Egypt. Two methods of isolation were used: the grain-and the dilution plate. The spectrum of fungal genera and species collected by the former (35 ge
