 AB    The efficiency of a modified flotation method for the isolation of
       Penicillium marneffei from soils has been evaluated. About 80% was
       recovered from sterilized soil freshly seeded with P. marneffei (100
       conidia/1.5 g soil). When seeded non-sterile soil was used (at least 100
       seeded conidia/1.5 g soil), P. marneffei could be effectively recovered
       by employing a combination of the flotation method and the mouse
       inoculation method.
