Abstract

The microfungi of an alkaline soil from an open-savannah in the Pretoria district of the Transvaal were surveyed using the dilution plate technique, the soil plate technique and a soil washing method. Over 14 months 127 species representing 53 genera were isolated. The most prevalent species found were Penicillium spp.; Fusarium spp.; Trickoderma viride; Gliocladium roseum; Aspergillus spp. ; Mucor spinosus; Spicaria violaceae and Chaetomium globosum . The results are discussed with particular reference to comparable surveys carried out in the Western Transvaal.
