Abstract

One species each of Penicillium and Memnoniella echinata isolated from deteriorated fire pipe hose has been found to be predominantly responsible for its degradation. Their degrative effect separately as well as in combination has been studied. This paper summarises the results of the studies on the microbial deterioration of fire pipe hose and describes the main types of fungi responsible for its degradation during storage.
