The list of fungi which may be found on leather has already grown to over fifty fungi. Strains of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Paecilomyces appears to be the most common ones. However, there had been no studies concerning the antifungal action of leather in Korea. Therefore the authors attempt to isolate the strains of fungi from leather. In this study, the strains of Aspergillus niger, glaucus and oryzae were isolated respectively out of leather, then it was identified eachly. These strains of fungi could grow in the presence of fat and oils, it is obvious that leather-mildew utilize fat and oils of leather-products as a carbon-saurce. |
