Salinity-loving fungi in Egyptian soils. I. Numbers, identities, and halophilism. 1984

S S Radwan, and A A el-Essawy, and G A Helal

The total numbers and the frequencies of fungi in one normal and three saline soils were determined, using a nutrient medium containing sodium chloride concentrations up to 10% (w/v). The most salinity-tolerant fungi were found to belong to the two genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. Four selected Penicillium isolates showed a typical halophilic behaviour. Their growth was directly proportional to the concentration of sodium chloride in the nutrient medium up to 10% (w/v). Some of the isolates could tolerate up to 30% sodium chloride in the medium (w/v).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010407	Penicillium	A mitosporic Trichocomaceae fungal genus that develops fruiting organs resembling a broom. When identified, teleomorphs include EUPENICILLIUM and TALAROMYCES. Several species (but especially PENICILLIUM CHRYSOGENUM) are sources of the antibiotic penicillin.	Penicilliums
D004534	Egypt	A country in northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Libya and the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea north of Sudan, and includes the Asian Sinai Peninsula Its capital is Cairo.	Arab Republic of Egypt,United Arab Republic
D005658	Fungi	A kingdom of eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live parasitically as saprobes, including MUSHROOMS; YEASTS; smuts, molds, etc. They reproduce either sexually or asexually, and have life cycles that range from simple to complex. Filamentous fungi, commonly known as molds, refer to those that grow as multicellular colonies.	Fungi, Filamentous,Molds,Filamentous Fungi,Filamentous Fungus,Fungus,Fungus, Filamentous,Mold
D001230	Aspergillus	A genus of mitosporic fungi containing about 100 species and eleven different teleomorphs in the family Trichocomaceae.
D012965	Sodium Chloride	A ubiquitous sodium salt that is commonly used to season food.	Sodium Chloride, (22)Na,Sodium Chloride, (24)NaCl
D012988	Soil Microbiology	The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the soil. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms.	Microbiology, Soil
D013045	Species Specificity	The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
