title: A note on antimycotic activity of milk.
abstract: Invitro sporostatic effect of fresh milk from four different origin was tested against five otomycoitc pathogens. Maximum sporostatic activity was recorded in cow milk against Aspergillusniger (82.31%) followed by Candidaalbicans (78.95%), Aspergillus flavus (76.00%), Pencillium nigricans (64.40%) and Absidia corymbifera (63.53%). Goat milk caused 87.06 per cent inhibition in the spore germination of Absidia corymibifera. In all other cases a varied effect of test milk samples was noted against present test fungi.
