Morphological effects of alcoholic extract of Costus speciosus Koen. on Aspergillus sp. That causing pulmonary infections(III)

Abstract

The present study aimed to know the extension of  effects of the plant extract Costus speciosus toward some species of Aspergillus and by study of the morphological changes of the fungus A. fumigatus, A. niger, A.flavus, A. terreus developing in an environment containing 75 mg / ml of methanol extract of the plant test The results showed an increase hyphae formation and morphological changes in the growth of some parts hyphae  was atrophied and increased lateral branching points and low distances between these points subsidiarity and condensing the material cytoplasm and other net changes.

Keywords: Aspergillus spp. ; Costus speciosus ; Morphological effects.
