Abstract

This study aimed to the extracellular enzymayic activity of fungi causing otitis externa isolated from infected individuals in Maysan Governorate on solid media. The ability of nine fungi to secrete three enzymes: phospholipase, esterase, and hemolysin  was studies.The results of  the current study showed that the fungi  A. terreu, G. candidum,  A.alternate  , R.oryzae , C.cladosporioide have  the  ability to  produce all the studied  enzymes while P. chrysogenum  was found to secrte esterase and  phospholipase A. niger  was found to produce phospholipase and  hemolysin  , while A.flavus and A.oryzae  showed the ability to produce esterase and phospholipase.
