Abstract
Pure culture methodology allows an investigator to detect, isolate, identify, and quantify numbers and kinds of fungi from a wide array of environments and to define the nutritional, chemical, and environmental requirements for their growth and metabolism. Studies with pure cultures not only enhance understanding of any natural ecosystem within infected hosts or in the environment, but also help in the determination of molecular architecture and screening for novel activity/compounds. Pure culture methodology is the foundation of fundamental and applied research, as well as the commercial exploitation of fungi.
