Preliminary surveys of outdoor and indoor aeromycobiota in Uganda.

摘要: This investigation was conducted during the period of March through June 1998 to trap, enumerate and identify different airborne fungi in a variety microhabitats outdoor indoor environments localities Uganda. The settle plate method used Czapek-Dox agar isolation medium. A total 47 genera 61 species addition some other unidentified were trapped from all exposures at (39 52 species) (35 49) environments. fungal catches airspora obtained (and even most individual exposures) more than twice (5222 colonies) that ones (4361) when exposure periods are taken into consideration. It is worth mentioning highly polluted sites either parks, forests or river banks for exposures, teaching laboratory, library, laterines bathrooms exposures. prevalent both being Mycosphaerella, Yeasts, Penicillium, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Cochliobolus Alternaria. However, several others frequently On hand, only, but not (in low rare instances) microhabitats. implications these spores also discussed.
