plates, and were incubated at 17
and 25◦C in the dark. Second set of the same media was
supplemented by sterilized blond child hairs placed on the
medium surface. All plates were inoculated in duplicates
and all strain were plated also alone on each medium as
a control. The plates were sealed with Parafilm and examined
weakly for 3 months under a stereomicroscope for the
production of ascomata.
