TL;DR: Mentioning Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, Ulocladium and Curvularia in connection with T. harzianum, T. koningii, Ulocadium septosporum, Emericella nidulans and Cochliobolus lunatus helps clarify the role of these organisms in modern medicine.
Abstract: تم في هذه الدراسة جمع عينات تربة من ست مدن في المملكة العربية السعودية هي الدمام ، النماص ، مكة المكرمة ، الرياض ، تبوك وجيزان ، حيث تم عزل وتعريف ثلاثون نوعا من الفطريات ينتمون إلى خمسة عشر جنسا ذات قدرة على تحليل السليلوز وأظهرت عينات الدمام أعلى معدل من الأنواع الفطرية (20 نوع ) تتبعها النماص (18 نوع )، مكة والرياض (17 نوع )، تبوك (19 نوع ) وجيزان (11 نوع ) . وتلين أن الأجناس السائدة المعزولة هي Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, Ulocladium and Curvularia كما تم خلال هذه الدراسة عزل وتعريف سته أنواع فطرية ينتمون إلى أربعة أجناس لم يسجل وجودها من قبل في المملكة وهي. Trichoderma pseudokoningii, T. harzianum, T. koningii, Ulocadium septosporum, Emericella nidulans and Cochliobolus lunatus.

TL;DR: The cleared-zone technique was found to be much less reliable as compared to other methods and the data obtained suggest that caution is needed using these methods.

Cleared-zone technique, cellulose azure method and agar diffusion test for rapid screening were used. The cleared-zone technique was found to be much less reliable as compared to other methods. Trichoderma viride, T. pseudokoningii and Aspergillus fumigatus were the best producers of cellulase enzyme. The data obtained also suggest that caution is needed using these methods. The, disadvantages of using one method for screening, which has been a common practise up to now, are discussed.
