Abstract

Twenty chemicals were screened for their effectiveness in restricting colony spreading by four strains of a xerophilic mold, Eurotium amstelodami, on dichloran-18% glycerol agar. Triton X-100, Triton X-301, Tergitol NP-7, and Tergitol 15-S-3 (each at 200 μg/ml) and 1,000 μg of sodium deoxycholate, 1 μg of iprodione, 0.1 μg of propiconazole, and 0.01 μg of Maxim per ml were judged to be most effective for restricting the rate of colony spreading.
