Abstract
The inhibition of some fungal strains responsible for paper biodeterio ration is reported. Antimicrobials (butylated hydroxytoluene, BHT and butylated hydroxyanisole, BHA), azole antifungals (econazole, miconazo le and ketoconazole) and chitin synthase inhibitors (uridine, 5-fluoro uridine, 2-deoxyuridine) have been assessed for efficacy against Penic illium chrysogenum Them, Aspergillus terreus Thom, Stachybotrys atra C orda and Chaetomium elatum Kunze, fungal strains isolated from deterio rated papers. Our results have shown that the most evident inhibiting effect on fungal growth has been obtained with miconazole and econazol e at 10(-3) M. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Limited.
