Abstract

Comparative studies were carried out of the fungal resistance of thiokol sealants to micromycetes isolated in the tropical climate of the Republic of Cuba and micromycetes used as test cultures according to GOST (State Standard) 9.049–91. The growth of both groups of microorganisms was revealed on samples of sealants vulcanized with manganese dioxide, and almost no growth was detected on samples of sealants vulcanized with sodium dichromate. Tropical micromycetes have been shown to be more active against sealing materials than standard cultures.
