Abstract
THE molecular filter membrane, which is especially useful in sanitary bacteriology and related fields, has recently been shown to be very valuable in the cultivation and identification of fungi1. The method has also been applied with great success in microbiological class-work for university students. Instead of a number of plates, a single membrane filter culture is sufficient for a large number of students. The mechanical breakage of the mycelial structures is avoided, and in addition, it simplifies the lecturer's preparatory work.
