[The use of micromycetes for cleaning parts of aircraft].
The mycelial Fungi Penicillium funiculosum, P. citrinum, P. expansum, P. chrysogenum, Aspergillus ochraceus, A. alliaceus, A. luchaensis, A. flavus, and A. niger were isolated from enrichment cultures. These fungi actively destruct carbon deposits formed during exploitation of aircraft. A biotechnological method for removing fouling from parts of aircraft engines (PAE) was developed. This method is less laborious, more rapid and ecologically clean than contemporary chemical methods. Scanning microscopy was suggested to use for estimating the degree of decarbonization of PAE surfaces.
