Abstract

A growth inhibition passing slowly in the killing effect has been produced by ultraviolet light, depending on the duration of exposure and its repetition. Visible light is also capable of growth inhibition but its fungicidal action is very low and irregular. The killing effect has been raised photosensitizing the hyphae by means of eosine in this case.
