Study on the origin of fungi growing in bathrooms

从浴室和洗衣机中分离出来的志贺氏菌，由于暴露在洗涤剂中，在基因和生物学上可能与室外分离株不同。将叶片中的芽孢杆菌分为使用表面活性剂和不使用表面活性剂生长的两组。从卫生间分离的菌株经鉴定为腐殖链霉菌，腐殖链霉菌可以利用表面活性物质作为营养物质。进一步的含义是，在富含洗涤剂的室内环境中发现的腐殖链霉菌分离株的遗传变异可能是由于适应了这样的环境而发生的。

Scolecobasidium, isolated from bathrooms and washing machines, because of their exposure to detergents, might be genetically and biologically distinct from outdoor isolates. Scolecobasidium from leaves were classified into 2 groups that grow using surfactant or not using. The isolates from bathrooms were identified as S. humicola, and S. humicola can use surfactants as their nutrition. A further implication is that the genetic variation found in the S. humicola isolates from detergent-rich indoor environments can occur as a result of having adapted itself to such an environment.
