Abstract
The growth of test fungus (Aspergillus niger) on birch-bark was studied by keeping birch-bark and Whatman filter paper, impregnated with nutritive media, at different humidities and temperatures. Birch-bark was found to be very fungus-resistant even at high humidity. Tests were also conducted on birch-bark leached with different organic solvents. Little difference is seen between the behavior of the treated and untreated samples. See also AATA 18-1145, 21-1561, and 21-1825.
