摘要:The study compared the growth of Pseudallescheria boydii isolates from sew-
age sludge and from clinical sources on tributyrin, rapeseed oil, biodiesel oil and diesel
oil agars. The isolates grew on all substrates tested. The highest growth was observed on
rapeseed oil agar, while the lowest on diesel agar. On tributyrin agar, hydrolysis zones
were observed around or underneath the colonies. On rapeseed oil agar, no hydrolysis
zones were formed, while most isolates formed such a zone on biodiesel oil agar. Rape-
seed oil and biodiesel oil stimulated the growth of P. boydii isolates, while tributyrin
inhibited fungal growth. The stimulation or inhibition effect of diesel oil was dependent
on the speci? ed strain. In clinical isolates, fungal growth and activity were found to be
more variable compared to sludge isolates. The data suggest that contamination of the
environment with these oils could favor the growth of P. boydii. However, no association
was found between the growth and oil utilization by this fungus and its pathogenicity.
