Despite recent studies, relatively few are known about the diversity of fungal communities in the deep Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we investigated the diversity of fungal communities in 15 different deep-sea sediments from the South Atlantic Ocean with a culture-dependent approach followed by phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences. A total of 29 fungal strains were isolated from the 15 deep-sea sediments. These strains belong to four fungal genera, including Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Alternaria. Penicillium, accounting for 44.8% of the total fungal isolates, was a dominant genus. The antiaflatoxigenic activity of these deep-sea fungal isolates was studied. Surprisingly, most of the strains showed moderate to strong antiaflatoxigenic activity. Four isolates, belonging to species of Penicillium polonicum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus versicolor, and Cladosporium cladosporioides, could completely inhibit not only the mycelial growth of Aspergillus parasiticus mutant strain NFRI-95, but also the aflatoxin production. To our knowledge, this is the first report to investigate the antiaflatoxigenic activity of culturable deep-sea fungi. Our results provide new insights into the community composition of fungi in the deep South Atlantic Ocean. The high proportion of strains that displayed antiaflatoxigenic activity demonstrates that deep-sea fungi from the Atlantic Ocean are valuable resources for mining bioactive compounds.

Out of 210 tinea capitis cases studies, 16 were negative when examined with KOH, among the remaining 194 cases, 123 were males (63.4%) and 71 were females (36.6%) and the age of incidence ranged between 7 and 15 years. Microsporum was the main causal agent being identified in 82 cases (42.3%) and was represented by 5 species among which M. canis was common in Egypt (55 cases, 28.4%). Trichophyton constituted 32% and was represented by 8 species among which T. violaceum was the most common (24.2% of total cases). Candida were isolated from 3.6% of total cases. The 47 species and twenty-five genera from nondermatophyte-cyclohexamide resistant fungi were recovered from the diseased skin tissue. Penicillium and Aspergillus were the most abundant followed by Scopulariopsis, Alternaria, Thermoascus, Chrysosporium and Cladosporium. Studies of the air-borne fungi in-door the hospital wards revealed the occurrence of 57 species belonging to 28 genera, among which Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum, p. corylophilum, A. niger, Tritirachium rosum and Alternaria alternata were the most common. Results of the out-door experiments were basically similar to those of the in-door experiments.

Nowadays, the damages caused by molds in cotton textile goods becomes influential. In our country, however, the relations between cotton goods and molds are not investigated and studied in detail. Two hundred and fifty seven kind of mold's samples were collected in ninety places through the whole country. The molds samples are mainly gathered according to each regions and seasons from molded cotton textiles. Out of this samples, we isolated six hundred and seventy two strains of molds and the results of isolation are following. 1. The distributed molds were Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., Penicillium sp., etc. among them Aspergillus sp. were most widely distributed, and next were Rhizopus sp., Penicillium sp. etc. 2. The distribution of Aspergillus sp. abounded peculiarly in the dry season, while Rhizopus sp. in the rainy season. 3. The C.M.C, descomposing enzymes forming activity on molds were greatly concerned with intensity damage of cotton textile goods. 4. The formation of C.M.C. decomposing enzyme was only influenced by physiology of each strains. 5. Regarding to the growth. a. The molds which were saprophyting on the cotton textile goods were indicated vigorous growing. b. Among isolated six hundred and seventy two strains, there were above a hundred strains which produced pigment and nearly half of them fifty nine strains were Aspergillus sp. 6. Twenty one strains in isolated six hundred and seventy two strains were indentified which can heavily damage upon cotton textile. As a results of indentification of the selected strains, the following species was abtained, Aspergillus sydowi, wentii, niger, luchuensis, flavus, fumigatus, nidulans, Penicillium frequentants, roqueforti, chrysogenum, albicans, Rhizopus oligosporus, delemar, Mucor rouxii, mucedo, Neurospora sitophila, Monilia variabilis, fructigena, Cladsporium hurbarum and Aspergillus spp. Mucor spp.

The mycobiota of the sandy soil of Egyptian beaches was investigated in thirty six sand samples collected from nine different localities in Egypt. The filamentous fungi were identified and assigned to thirty one genera and fifty one species. Greater populations as well as a wider spectrum range of fungal genera and species were obtained in sandy soil of Alexandria beach while Balteem beach was the poorest one. The total count of the genus or species was not depended upon cases of isolation. Most of the genera detected belonged to the Deuteromycotina with fewer proportions belonging to the Ascomycotina and Zygomycotina. The genera of highest incidence and their respective numbers of species were: Penicillium(35.72%, 6 species) and Aspergillus(30.28%, 16 species). The species which showed the highest incidence in all cases was P chrysogenum, followed by P citrinum, A. flavus, Chaetomium murorum and Trichoderma viride. A few number of other genera and species were also detected.

Fifty cases of dermatomycoses were recorded from adult male and female at Qena Gvernorates. These included tinea capitis(62% of total cases), tinea corporis(20%), tinea versicolor(12%) and tinea unguium(6%). Males are more susceptible to all cases of tinea than females. Thirty-one species and 2 varieties belonging to 16 genera were recovered from several infection sites. These were identified as Aphanoascus fulvescens, A. terreus, Arthroderma fulva, A. obtusa, Trichophyton rubrum and T. soudanense. Several saprophytes were also found. These were : Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Cochliobolus lunatus, Mycosphaerella tassiana, Penicillium chrysogenum and P. citrinum. Twenty-one isolates were able to hydrolyze gelatin with variable capabilities. T. rubrum was the most active protease producer. The maximum production of protease was obtained at 8 days of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$ in Sabouraud's basal medium with maltose as a carbon source and pepton as a nitrogen source. The optinal pH for the maximum production of protease was pH 6.

This paper proposes a cell age model for Penicillium chrysogenum fed-batch cultivation to supply a qualitative insight into morphology-associated dynamics. The average ages of the segregated cell populations, such as growing cells, non-growing cells and intact productive cells, were estimated by this model. A combined model was obtained by incorporating the aver-age ages of the cell sub-populations into a known but modified segregated kinetic model from literature. For simulations, no additional effort was needed for parameter identification since the cell age model has no internal parameters. Validation of the combined model was per-formed by 20 charges of industrial-scale penicillin cultivation. Meanwhile, only two charge-dependent parameters were required in the combined model among approximately 20 parameters in total. The model is thus easily transformed into an adaptive model for a further application in on-line state variables prediction and optimal scheduling.

Penicillins and cephalosporins are biosynthesized from L-.alpha.-aminoadipic acid, L-cysteine and L-valine. A tripeptide, LLD-$\delta$-($\alpha$-aminoadipyl)cysteinylvaline(LLD-ACV) was isolated from fermentation broths of Cephalosporium acremonium as well as of Penicillium chrysogenum and it was proved that the LL-$\delta$-($\alpha$-aminoadipyl cysteine was formed first in mycelia, to which valine would be connected to give LLD-ACV. However, several points are still unsolved; first, what mechanism is involved in the configurational change from L-valine to D-valine, second, what kind of cyclization mechanism gives a $\betha$-lactam ring and a thiazolidine ring and third, what is the pathways for the ring expansion from penicillins to cephalosporins. At present, it seems clear that LLD-ACV is cyclized to give isopenicillin N, which is transformed to penicillin N and further to cepbalosporin C. Other hydrophobic penicillins, including benzyl penicillin and penicillin V, are formed from isopenicillin N by acyl-exchange reactions catalyzed by penicillin transferase, rather than by acylation reaction on 6-aminopenicillanic acid(6-APA), which was isolated from the fermentation broth of P. chrysogenum and which would be formed by hydrolysis of $\delta-(\alpha$-amincadipyl)amido moiety at the C-6 position in isopenicillin N or penicillin N by penicillin acylase. Acylation of 6-APA is catalyzed also by penicillin acylase, but the reaction is proved not to be involved in penicillin biosynthesis. Understanding the biosynthesis of penicillins and cephalsoporins would provide solutions to increase in fermentation yields of penicillins, especially of cephalosporins and a solution to biological production of 7-aminocepbalosporanic acid (7-ACA) which is of importance in pharmaceutical industry. Still regulation mechanisms in penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthesis are unveiled at all.
