Abstract

In order to establish the conditions of temperature, pH, and organic material which favor the development of Sporothrix schenkii, the cultures of this fungus were examined in media consisting of potting soil, clay, white land and sand. The results indicate that the content of organic material in the soils is fundamental for mycelium development. The fungus shows growth in the soils rich in cellulose in the pH range from 3.5 to 9.4 and temperature of 31 degrees C. the development of the mycelium does not show alterations in phenotypical characteristics. These results show the distributions that S. schenkii can have in the soils, which can be transmission vehicles of sporotrichosis.
