INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF FUNGI

[摘要] This investigation utilized the infrared spectrometer as a physical tool in studies of certain fungi. Data elicited from a study of infrared spectrums obtained in the course of this investigation show, (a) that the chemical composition of complex mixtures present in the methyl alcohol-chloroform extract of 3 strains of Microsporum lanosum, as detd. by infrared spectroscopy, was nearly constant, while that of 3 strains of M. fulvum was less so that 3 strains of Trichophyton gypseum was remarkably inconstant, and (b) that the infrared spectrums obtained would not enable positive identification or differentiation of the organisms concerned.
