Abstract
The ability of strains of genus Epidermophyton to grow at different co ncentrations of NaCl (ranged from 0 to 10%) was studied. A reduction i n the diameter of colonies was observed as the concentration of NaCl i ncreased. A nearly complete absence of macroconidia were shown even at the lowest concentration assayed. The geophilic species E. stockdalea e tolerated higher concentrations of NaCl(>7%) than E. floccosum (<3%) .
