“…Compared to C. indicum, C. tropicum Carmichael has a wider global distribution (1)(2)(3)(4)10,14,18,20,30,33). The two along with M. gypseum appeared to be good keratinophiliccompetiters as was indicated by their growth on all the substrates in primary soil cultures.…”

“…Isolation of some dermatophytes from soil has aroused agood deal of interest in the soil keratinophilic fungi during the last two decades. Recently, work on the distribution of such fungi has been carried out in Egypt (l), Chile (11), Tarragona (20), Rome (221, Lyon's region (23), Kenya (25) and Poland (34). Studies on keratinophilicfungi in India started in 1955 when Dey (18,21,26,27,30,33,37).…”

In a study of 94 soil samples in Lucknow (India) 81 (86.1%) were found positive for keratinophilic fungi and related dermatophytes. A total of twelve species classifted in five genera were encountered: Chrysosporium indicum (57.4%), Microsporum gypseum (19.1°/o), C. keratinophilum (11. 7O/o), C. tropicum and Nannizzia sp. (85% each), C. asperaturn and, Chrysosporim spp. (7.4% each), C. evolceanui (5.3%), anamorph of Ctenomyces semtus (4.3%), Aphanoascus terreus and Ctenomyces serratus (3.1% each) and M. nanum (1.0%). Occurrence of C. asperaturn in Lucknow soils is the first report from India. The fungi encountered have also been discussed in relation to their global distribution.

“…Unlike Arthrodermataceae and Onygenaceae, the Gymnoascaceae lack the enzymatic capability to break down keratin (Ulfig et al 1998;Scott and Untereiner 2004). Some are regarded as "keratinophilic" (Guarro et al 1981;Caretta et al 1992;Cugnani 2000;Filipello Marchisio 2000;Toro et al 2007), with a simply affinity for keratinous substrates, such as epidermis and its horny products, of which they utilise non-keratinous substances from the early degradation stages (Filipello Marchisio 2000;Blyskal 2009). Some are mildly cellulolytic (Howard 2002), whereas for others a chitinolytic activity has been hypothesised (Orr 1977;Lumley and Currah 1995).…”

Isolations of onygenalean fungi were made recently from different dung samples from Italy. A striking snowwhite species with gymnothecial ascomata, developed in damp chamber on dormouse dung collected in a cave, was subjected to keratinolytic tests and morphological, cultural, and phylogenetic studies. The keratinolytic ability of this species, associated with a Chrysosporium anamorph and a sexual state of appendiculate reticuloperidia and oblate ascospores, allows it to be accomodated in Onygenaceae. White ascomata, blunt or subcapitate peridial appendages, pitted ascospores, and tuberculate conidia suggest it to be a new Neogymnomyces, and this was confirmed by parsimony analyses of LSU and ITS nrDNA sequences. Following recent phylogenetic analyses, the morphological and physiological features of order Onygenales and its families are re– examined and discussed. After the introduction of a new species, Neogymnomyces is reviewed and compared with all other genera in Onygenaceae. The Chrysosporium imperfect state of Neogymnomyces virgineus is described and compared to the anamorph of N. demonbreunii. It is also compared to the atypical Chrysosporium merdarium and to several other Chrysosporium species with echinulate to verrucose–tuberculate conidia, isolated from guano, dung, and nitrogen–rich soils in caves. The onygenalean fungi isolated from any kind of dung are discussed and their facultative coprophily ascribed to variable faecal contents of keratin or other degradable substances. A key to the families and genera of the Onygenales is provided
