Popis: The genus Cephalosporium described by Corda in 1842 has attracted considerable attention in recent years following the world-wide search for new antibiotics. Some of the species like Emericellopsis salmosynnemata Grosklags and Swift (2) produce antibiotic Synnematin-B. Other species are soil inhabitants, plant pathogens, or parasites on insects. In India several plant parasites are recorded such as C. eichorniae Padwick (7), C. zonatum Sawada (5) and C. fici Tims & Olive (4). Among the soil fungi C. acremonium Cda. (10) and C. roseogriseum Saksena (9) are recorded from India. C. madurae Padhye, Sukapure & Thirum. (6) and C. infestans Gaind & Thirum. (1) were shown to be incitants of madura foot in India producing black granules. A few species like C. lecanii Zimm. are parasitic on scale insects. In the present investigation Cephalosporium species isolated from soil were studied with reference to their morphology, cultural characters, identity and antibiotic production.
