Abstract
The organophosphorus insecticide Selecron [O-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl) O-ethyl S-n-propyl-phosphorothioate] at 10 and 50 ppm significantly de creased respiration, mycelial protein, extracellular protein and mycel ial dry weight of Aspergillus fumigatus, A. terreus and Myceliophthora thermophila when grown at 45-degrees-C. C(x) and C1 cellulases of tes ted fungi were significantly decreased. However, C1 cellulase of A. fu migatus was slightly increased.
