Fifty cases of dermatomycoses were recorded from adult male and female at Qena Gvernorates. These included tinea capitis(62% of total cases), tinea corporis(20%), tinea versicolor(12%) and tinea unguium(6%). Males are more susceptible to all cases of tinea than females. Thirty-one species and 2 varieties belonging to 16 genera were recovered from several infection sites. These were identified as Aphanoascus fulvescens, A. terreus, Arthroderma fulva, A. obtusa, Trichophyton rubrum and T. soudanense. Several saprophytes were also found. These were : Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Cochliobolus lunatus, Mycosphaerella tassiana, Penicillium chrysogenum and P. citrinum. Twenty-one isolates were able to hydrolyze gelatin with variable capabilities. T. rubrum was the most active protease producer. The maximum production of protease was obtained at 8 days of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$ in Sabouraud's basal medium with maltose as a carbon source and pepton as a nitrogen source. The optinal pH for the maximum production of protease was pH 6.

The present study is of ultra-fine structures of Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum by means of electron microscopy and reveals the following. 1. In contrast to the bacteria, the normal fungus contains nuclear membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulun, distinct cell wall and cell membrane and secretory granules as observed in the higher plants and animals. 2. Thickening of the cell wall, inapparent cell wall, inapparent cell membrane with the appearance of electron thin area(ETA) and increase of inclusions were observed in the L-1 treated groups. 3. Thickening of cell wall and increase of ETA were more apparent in the Epidermophyton floccosum than the other groups. 4. Increase of electron thin area was thought to be associated with autolysis.

The effect of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaf extract on the growth of dermatophytes had been investigated. In vitro the extract exhibited high activity against various species of dermatophytes (Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, T. rubrum, Microsporum canis and M. gypseum). The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the extract revealed that all the dermatophytes tested had MIC values of 13.6 mg/ml. The extract exhibited fungistatic activity at lower concentrations $({\leq}13.6\;mg/ml\;or\;below\;the\;MIC\;value)$ and fungicidal activity at higher concentrations $({\geq}13.6\;mg/ml$\;or\;above\;the\;MIC\;value)$. The results suggested that the extract acted on the cell wall of the dermatophytes which subsequently leading to the formation of cytopathological and membrane structural degeneration and finally leading to cell lysis and death.

This study was carried out to assess the antidermatophytic potential of the ethyl acetate(EtOAc) extract of the marine isolate of Aspergillus sp.. The fungus was isolated by serial dilution, and was identified Aspergillus sp.. The EtOAc extract of the fungus was examined to evaluate the antidermatophytic efficacy against the fungal pathogens infecting human skin using the disc diffusion and MIC(minimum inhibitory concentration) determination methods. The EtOAc extract($5{\mu}l\;disc^{-1}$) was considered to have the antidermatophytic activity based on the inhibition percentage of the mycelial growth of the fungi tested such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes KCTC 6085, Microsporum canis KCTC 6591, Microsporum canis KCTC 6348, Trichophyton rubrum KCTC 6352, Microsporum canis KCTC 6349 and Trichophyton mentagrophytes KCTC 6316. The percentage of the inhibition ranged from 54% to 81, and the MIC obtained was 62.5, 62.5, 250, 125, 125, and $125{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$, respectively. The extract had a strong detrimental effect on the spore germination of the tested skin infectious pathogens. These findings strongly support the role of the ethyl acetate extract as a potential antidermatophytic agent.

The antifungal studies on the triterpenoids from the pericarp of Forsythia viridissima LINDL. were conducted. The pericarp was obtained from the plant which was cultivated at Eusung, Kyungsang-bukkdo, Korea. Substances A and B were isolated by column fractionation and purified by recrystallization. Antifungal actions of substance A, acetyloleanolic acid, show significant inhibition effect against Trichophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. tonsurans, Microsporum nanum, M. canis, and M. cookei. Substance B, viridissimic acid, shows negative effect against Candida albicans and shows lower effects against other test fungi.

저자들은 Granade와 Artis의 방법에 따라 96-well microplate와 24-well macroplate를 이 용하여 T. rubrum 9주를 대상으로 경구용 항진균제인 ketoconazole과 itraconazole에 대한 MIC를 측정하여 실제 임상사용 가능성을 알아보고 배양온도, 배양용기의 크기, 배지의 종류를 달리하여 MIC에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요소를 점검하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 96-well microplate를 사용하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 배양시 균농도에 따른 판독시기의 차이는 높은 균농도(흡광도 2.0, 1.0)에서는 4일만에, 낮은 균농도(흡광도 0.5, 0.25)에서는 6-8일만에 판독할 수 있었고, MIC는 높은 균농도에서 높았으나 시간이 경과시 점차 차이가 줄어들었다. 2. $37^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$에서 각각 배양시 배양온도에 따른 MIC의 차이는 96-well microplate를 사용하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양시 ketoconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006이하-$0.04{\mu}g/ml$, itraconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006이하-$0.04{\mu}g/ml$였으며 $25^{\circ}C$에서의 ketoconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.08-$5.68{\mu}g/ml$, itraconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006-$0.71{\mu}g/ml$로 $37^{\circ}C$에서의 MIC는 $25^{\circ}C$에서의 MIC에 비해 현저히 낮았다. 3. 24-well microplate와 96-well microplate에서 각각 배양시 배양용기의 크기에 따른 판독시기는 96-well microplate 액체배지에서는 4-6일로 24-well macroplate 액체배지에서의 8-12일에 비해 판독시기가 빨랐으나, MIC의 차이는 없었다. 4. 액체배지와 고체배지에서 배양시 배지종류에 따른 MIC의 차이는 액체배지를 함유한 24-well macroplate를 이용한 경우 ketoconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006이하-$5.68{\mu}g/ml$, itraconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006 이하-$0.36{\mu}g/ml$였고 고체배지에서는 ketoconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006이하-$5.68{\mu}g/ml$, itraconazole에 대한 MIC는 0.006 이하-$5.68{\mu}g/ml$로 고체배지에서의 MIC가 다소 높게 측정되었다. 5. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼때 96-well microplate를 사용하여, 흡광도 1.0의 균농도로 접종하여, $25^{\circ}C$에서 배양 후 5-6일째 육안으로 판독하는 것이 항진균제 감수성 검사를 빠르고 간편하게 실시 할 수 있는 방법이다.

본 연구는 피부사상균 Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum에 대한 일본잎갈나무 정유의 항진균 활성을 평가하고, 항진균 유효성분을 구명하고자 하였다. 또한 일본잎갈나무 정유에 노출된 피부사상균의 균사를 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 일본잎갈나무 정유의 항진균 효과를 균사의 형태학적 변화를 통하여 밝히고자 하였다. 일본잎갈나무 정유의 주성분은 (-)-bornyl acetate였으며, MIC는 모든 균에 대해 125 ppm을 나타냈다. 한천희석법을 통한 항진균 활성 평가에서는 모든 균에 대해 500 ppm 이상에서 100%의 활성, 100 ppm의 낮은 농도에서도 50% 이상의 활성을 나타냈다. SEM과 TEM을 통해 균사를 관찰한 결과, 일본잎갈나무 정유에 노출된 E. floccosum은 정상세포와 다른 균사 형태가 관찰되었다. 팡이실 모양의 격막을 갖고 있는 곧고 매끈한 표면의 정상세포와는 달리, 처리구에서는 균사 표면에 주름이 있었으며 균사가 터지거나 접히고 부풀어 오른 것, 세포소기관과 세포벽이 붕괴된 것도 관찰되었다. 분획을 통해 일본잎갈나무 정유의 항진균 유효성분을 확인한 결과, (-)-${\tau}$-muurolol, (+)-terpinen-4-ol, ${\alpha}$-terpineol, ${\alpha}$-cadinol 등의 terpene alcohol 화합물이었다.

To evaluate effects of ligninolytic enzyme type on the mycelial response and ligninolytic enzyme production during interspecific interactions among wood-rotting fungi, 4 fungal strains, Trichophyton rubrum LKY-7, Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, and Trichoderma viride, were selected. Regarding ligninolytic enzyme production, LKY-7 secreted laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP), P. cinnabarinus secreted only laccase, and LSK-27 secreted only MnP in glucose-peptone medium, while T. viride did not produce any ligninolytic enzymes. In the co-culture of LKY-7 with P. cinnabarinus, the formation of aerial mycelium was observed and the enhancement of laccase activity owing to interspecific interaction appeared to be very low. In the co-culture of LKY-7 and P. cinnabarinus with LSK-27, a hypha-free clear zone was observed, which resulted in deadlock, and increased laccase or MnP activity was detected at the interaction zone. The interaction responses of LKY-7, P. cinnabarinus, and LSK-27 with T. viride were characterized by the formation of mycelial barrages along the interface. As mycelial barrages were observed at the T. viride territory and no brownish pigment was observed in the mycelial barrages, it is suggested that laccase and MnP are released as part of an offensive response, not as a defensive response. The co-culture of P. cinnabarinus with T. viride lead to the highest enhancement in laccase activity, yielding more than 14-fold increase in laccase activity with respect to the mono-culture of P. cinnabarinus. MnP activities secreted by LKY-7 or LSK-27 was generally low in interspecific interactions.

마디풀 전초(全草)의 건조물인 편축의 열수전탕(熱水煎湯)의 여과액으로 증발 농축시킨 추출액을 만들어 대조인 Sabouraud's dextrose arar 배지에 매지 10ml當 편축 추출액 0.5,1,2 및 3ml를 각각 혼합한 배지로서 T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, E. floccccosum 및 M. canis 등 4균종을 각각 3종씩 배양하여 그 발육상태를 관찰하므로서 진균발육억제작용의 유무를 검색하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1. E. floccosum은 편축추출물 3ml 혼합의 평판배지 사면배지 및 현적배양에서 거의 완전히 현지한 균발육억제작용을 인정할 수 있었다. 2. T. menagrophytes, T. rubum 및 M. cains에 대해서는 부분적으로 현저한 억제자용과 발육균태(菌苔)의 크기로 보아 반이불(半以不)의 크기로 발육이 억제되는 증정도의 억제효과를 인정하였다.
