Calcium is at least partly replaceable by scrontium or barium. Most of the other species of Chaetomium tested responded to calcium, either in fruiting or growth, or both. Suitable doses of calcium reproduce in a large measure the previously observed effect of jute extract on the fruiting of Chaetomaum species. The presence of calcium in jute extract was established.", }
