Mycoflora of some medicine plants growing in the Egyptian eastern desert

Abstract

In total 40 species of fungi belonging to 16 genera were isolated from 2 media: glucose and cellulose-Czapek's. The collective fungal spectrum varied from one plant to another where the highest total count (1903 colonies/g) was obtained from Artemisia cina leaves on glucose-Czapck's and the lowest count (308 colonies) was recorded from Solenostemma argel root on glucose-Czapek's as well. The total number of fungi species varied with the variation of the tested plant.
