Abstract
ABSTRACT Streptomyces kanamyceticus EHE-68 was able to exhibit the antifungal activity
against the tested dermatophyte fungi, namely Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton
mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis. Nutritional requirements for antfungal production of
Streptomyces kanamyceticus were studied. Among the tested carbon sources, starch prove
to be the most suitable carbon source in production of the maximum values of antifungal
activity followed by chitin. On the other hand, sucrose, cellulose and glucose were
