Abstract
IN the course of an investigation designed to investigate the fungal flora growing on jute materials under different conditions of decomposition, species of Dendrophoma and Phoma were isolated from weather-exposed jute fabric for the first time, using special media. The exposure period was June–August in the monsoon season, and was attended with intermittent heavy rain and sunshine. Isolations were made on ‘Cellodextrin’ agar and on ‘Czapek–Dox’-jute extract agar containing 1 per cent glucose. Similar experiments with conventional media had previously failed to reveal these genera. They were not encountered on jute fabric exposed to 100 per cent relative humidity within the laboratory, nor on fabric rotting in contact with soil or within the bale.
