Abstract:
Mycelial growth and early spore formation of some fungal strains in Czapek`s Dox Agar, Potato Dextrose agar and a complex medium containing sucrose, agar and Abrus seed powder were evaluated. Abrus contains nitrogenous compounds like Abrin. Paraglobulin and µ- Phytalbumose. Abrus medium showed high affinity fur growth of mycelium and early spore formation in Penicillium lilacinum, Paecilomyces variotti, Aspergillus ochraceous, Penicillium funiculosum and Spadiocoides stoveri while comparatively low affinity with Czapek’s Dox Agar and Potato Dextrose Agar.
