At present, in Ukraine there is a growing prevalence of fungal infections, including aspergillosis and mucormycosis, against HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma and cancerous diseases [11]. The literature available presents scanty data on which of the most commonly used nutrient media provide the highest biosynthetic activity for the fungi of the family Mucoraceae, the genus Aspergillus. The aim of this study was to investigate the cultural properties of the studied isolates of fungi on different nutrient media. The following field fungi isolates were studied: Mucor ramosissimus Samutsevitsch, Rhizopus spp., Aspergillus fumigatus Fresenius, Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, Aspergillus flavus Link. The following nutrient media were used: the Plout medium, the Grigoraki medium, the Czapek agar, the Sabouraud agar, the wort-agar, the Van Eterson medium, the Sabouraud-dextrose broth, the honey medium. The concentration of fungi spores per 1 cm3 of inoculum was assessed on the basis of standard methods using a Goryaev's chamber. The evaluation of the intensity of spore formation on different nutrient media was carried out by standard techniques and assessed in CFU/ cm2 [30]. The most intense growth of micromycetes of the Mucor and Aspergillus genera is found on media containing sucrose, dextrose, maltose, glucose, dextrin, glycerol or plant components (the Sabouraud agar, the Czapek agar, the wort agar, the Grigoraki medium, and the Plout medium).
