The objective was to determine potential exposure to airborne fungi in greenhouses and to characterize the temporal patterns
of airborne fungi in relation to environmental conditions. We analyzed air samples collected in two greenhouses. Results showed
that the top 5 fungi in greenhouse 1 were Trichoderma, hyphal fragments, Aspergillus/ Penicillium-like, Cladosporium, and Botrytis in a descending order. Those in greenhouse 2 were Aspergillus/ Penicillium-like, Cladosporium, Botrytis, yeast-like, and hyphal fragments. Maximum concentrations of Trichoderma and total spores in greenhouse 1 were 36,426 and 49,729 spores/m 3, respectively. Maximum concentrations of Aspergillus/ Penicillium and total spores in greenhouse 2 were 46,961 and 71,037 spores/m 3, respectively. Airborne fungal populations fluctuated dramatically within 2 h during work hours, tenfold for Aspergillus/ Penicillium, 66-fold for Trichoderma, and sevenfold for total spores. QPCR detected Trichoderma harzianum ranging from 7 to 3,500 conidia E/m 3. Aspergillus/ Penicillium and Botrytis showed diurnal patterns, but not Trichoderma. Aspergillus/ Penicillium and Cladosporium were positively correlated with temperature, relative humidity, dew point, heat index, and light and negatively with air
movement and air pressure. Botrytis and Trichoderma were not correlated with the environmental factors. Greenhouse workers were potentially exposed up to 71,037 spores/m 3 of airborne fungi. 相似文献

Airborne spores were monitored during the years 1993–1995 in three cities along the coastal plain of Israel: Ramat Gan, Tel
Aviv (Ramat Aviv) and Haifa. Seasonal fluctuations in the concentration of airborne spores were recorded. The following genera
of fungi were identified: Alternaria, Cladosporium, Coprinus, Curvularia, Drechslera. Diplococcum, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Leptosphaeria, Pithomyces, Puccinia,
Sphacelotheca, Stemphylium and Ustilago. Unidentified spores were very rare and in negligible numbers. The dominant airborne fungal spores were Cladosporium and Alternaria. The monthly variations in airborne spores, observed among the three cities, seem to be rather minor. The recorded levels
of airborne spores were below the concentrations that are accepted as threshold levels for provocation of clinical responses. 相似文献

Summary Studies employing volumetric spore trap (VSP) and gravity settling culture plates (GSC) were conducted in order to analyse the air spora of a rice mill at Pavia, Italy, from October-December 1988. Results revealed a variety of fungal spores belonging to different genera and including recognized rice pathogenic fungi. The most frequent genera by GSC method included Acremonium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Helminthosporium, Mucor, Nigrospora, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Trichoderma, Trichothecium, and some unidentified fungi. Environmental assessment of fungal spores by VSP revealed that the most prevalent fungi were: Alternaria, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Helminthosporium, Nigrospora, Pyricularia, Tilletia and hyaline, dark and coloured types of ascospores and basidiospores. Airborne fungal spore concentrations were particularly high (5,000–6,000 spores/m 3) in the rooms of the rice mill where the initial stages of rough rice transformation take place, and dropped to 2,500 spores/m 3 in the last room, where workers are. During a temporary interruption of the working processes, air spora concentration dropped below 1,000 spores/m 3. Cladosporium, Epicoccum and Nigrospora spores were predominant in all subdivisions of the indoor environments of the rice mill. 相似文献

High concentrations of airborne fungal spores frequently occur from spring through fall in temperate areas of the world. Although
it is generally assumed that fungi on leaf surfaces are contributors to the air spora, little data are available comparing
the types of fungi found on leaf surfaces with those in the atmosphere. Air sampling was carried out with a Burkard Spore
Trap located on the roof of a building on the University of Tulsa campus using standard methods. Leaf samples were aseptically
collected from Ulmus americana and Quercus palustris trees on campus, placed in sterile plastic bags, and brought to the lab. For each leaf, 4 cm 2 areas of both upper and lower leaf surfaces were swabbed and plated on malt extract agar with streptomycin. Cultures were
incubated at room temperature for 5–7 days and then examined microscopically. Results were expressed as colony forming units
(CFU)/cm 2. Twenty-one fungal taxa were identified from the air samples. The most abundant taxa were Cladosporium, ascospores, basidiospores, and Alternaria; together these four spore types comprised over 90% of the yearly total. Yeasts were the most abundant fungi isolated from
both leaf types. Among the mycelial fungi were Phoma species, followed by Cladosporium and Alternaria. Overall twenty genera of filamentous fungi were identified. Yeasts and Phoma are normally splash dispersed and were not identified in the Burkard air samples. However, 10 taxa isolated from leaf surfaces
were registered in air samples. Crude estimates of the leaf surface area of each tree suggest that the total fungal load was
approximately 5.04×10 8 CFU for Ulmus and 2.71×10 8 CFU for Quercus. Of these levels, 19% were from fungi also detected in air samples. The data suggest that some leaf-surface fungi are major
contributors to the air spora. 相似文献

Although the terrestrial and temperate orchids–fungal biology have been largely explored, knowledge of tropical epiphytic
orchids–fungus relationships, especially on the ecological roles imparted by non-mycorrhizal fungal endophytes, is less known.
Exploitation of the endophytic fungal mycobiota residing in epiphytic orchid plants may be of great importance to further
elucidate the fungal ecology in this special habitat as well as developing new approaches for orchid conversations. The composition
of fungal endophytes associated with leaves, stems and roots of an epiphytic orchid ( Dendrobium nobile), a famous Chinese traditional medicinal plant, was investigated. Microscopic imaging, culture-dependant method and molecular
phylogeny were used to estimate their entity and diversity. Totally, there were 172 isolates, at least 14 fungal genera and
33 different morphospecies recovered from 288 samples. Ascomycetes, coelomycetes and hyphomycetes were three major fungal
groups. There were higher overall colonization and isolation rates of endophytic fungi from leaves than from other tissues.
Guignardia mangiferae was the dominant fungal species within leaves; while the endophytic Xylariaceae were frequently observed in all plant tissues; Colletotrichum, Phomopsis and Fusarium were also frequently observed. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS gene revealed the high diversity of Xylariacea fungi and relatively diverse of non- Xylariacea fungi. Some potentially promising beneficial fungi such as Clonostachys rosea and Trichoderma chlorosporum were found in roots. This is the first report concerning above-ground and below-ground endophytic fungi community of an epiphytic
medicinal orchid, suggesting the ubiquitous distribution of non-mycorrhizal fungal endophytes in orchid plants together with
heterogeneity and tissue specificity of the endophyte assemblage. Possible physiological functions played by these fungal
endophytes and their potential applications are also discussed briefly.

A quantitative and qualitative survey was carried out for airborne fungus spores coming into contact with horizontally and
vertically gravitation sampling oriented surfaces in the atmosphere of Giza city. Czapek Dox agar, malt extract agar, potato
dextrose agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar Petri dishes were exposed monthly to the five oriented surfaces of a polystyrene
cube, throughout a one-year period. Significant differences ( P < 0.01) were observed between the total counts of caught airborne fungi contacting with the horizontal compared to other
vertically oriented surfaces. Conversely, there were no significant differences observed between the total catch of airborne
fungi using the various sampling media. The results revealed that vertical sampling provides valuable information that may
be lost from horizontal sampling alone. A total of 5,053 colonies belonging to 40 fungal organisms were identified. Alternaria (24.26%), Aspergillus (19.2%), Cladosporium (14.5%) and Penicillium (11.43%) were the most predominant fungal genera. Collected fungi were grouped into high, medium, low and rare components
depending upon their frequency in the studied atmosphere. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, Alternaria, Cladosporium and Penicillium were regularly found on all oriented surfaces. However, Arthrobotrys, Biospora, Chaetomium, Pleospora, Trichothecium and Verticillium were rarely found in the air. Positive and/or negative correlations were observed between the total fungal counts and the
predominant fungal types with meteorological parameters during sampling days. 相似文献

Summary In order to evaluate bacterial and fungal contamination, the authors used a qualitative and quantitative procedure and investigated
47 air conditioning and humidifying units.
Air samples were studied using Biotest RCS biocollector (160×6 liters on 6 different selective media), whilst dust samples
were analysed after spreading 10 mg onto fungal media.
Selective research of Legionella and fungi were performed using water filtrates and specific media. Even though, the most frequently identified species were
quite common environmental fungi, mainly Penicillium, Alternaria and Aspergillus fumigatus (36 out of 47 collections), the health effects of intense exposure to these common moulds are not really known. Staphylococcus aureus was identified 6 times and thermophilic actinomyces species ( A. candidus) once. From the quantitative analysis a significant relationship was found between some risk factors and airborne contamination.
Indeed bacteria and fungi number depends on the humidifying system (steam or washer), efficiency of secondary filters, relative
humidity percentage (< or >60%), installation maintenance, industrial activity and complaints of people at risk. The presence
of air recycling and biocide use seems only to have an influence on fungal flora. Having determined a global risk score for
each air conditioning unit, the authors underline the fact that bacterial and fungal airborne contamination increases with
score. Moreover, for a global, metrological, medical and technical evaluation, a multidisciplinary approach has proved itself
to be indispensable. 相似文献

The concentration of fungal spores in the atmosphere of Madrid was recorded and analyzed for the year 2003. Airborne spores were sampled continuously with a Hirst-type spore trap located on the roof of a building of the School of Pharmacy, at about 8 m above ground level. Correlation between the mean daily spore concentrations and meteorological variables were explored by means of Spearman’s correlation analyses. Seventy spore types were identified, of which the most numerous were Cladosporium, Aspergillaceae (conidia), Coprinus, Agaricales (basidiospores), Ustilago (teliospores) and Pleospora (ascospores). These six types of spores represented more than 70% of the total. Cladosporium represented 41% of the total fungal spores, while Ustilago spores, the concentrations of which in May and June exceeded 47% of the monthly total spore count, constituted the second most important group. Spores reached their highest concentrations in the spring months, and in the autumn, mainly in October. A␣positive significant correlation was found between airborne spore counts and temperature and relative humidity. The results provide a picture of the spectrum of airborne fungal spores present in the atmosphere of Madrid and of the `peak' periods of their presence. Future studies will provide more detailed information on the seasonal dynamics of the spores most frequently found in the air as well as on the extent to which atmospheric conditions influence their release, dispersion and sedimentation processes. 相似文献

This paper is the first aero-mycological report from Demänovská Ice Cave. Fungal spores were sampled from the internal and external air of the cave in June, 2014, using the impact method with a microbiological air sampler. Airborne fungi cultured on PDA medium were identified using a combination of classical phenotypic and molecular methods. Altogether, the presence of 18 different fungal spores, belonging to 3 phyla, 9 orders and 14 genera, was detected in the air of the cave. All of them were isolated from the indoor samples, and only 9 were obtained from the outdoor samples. Overall, airborne fungal spores belonging to the genus Cladosporium dominated in this study. However, the spores of Trametes hirsuta were most commonly found in the indoor air samples of the cave and the spores of C. herbarum in the outdoor air samples. On the other hand, the spores of Alternaria abundans, Arthrinium kogelbergense, Cryptococcus curvatus, Discosia sp., Fomes fomentarius, Microdochium seminicola and T. hirsuta were discovered for the first time in the air of natural and artificial underground sites. The external air of the cave contains more culturable airborne fungal spores (755 colony-forming units (CFU) per 1 m 3 of air) than the internal air (from 47 to 273 CFU in 1 m 3), and these levels of airborne spore concentration do not pose a threat to the health of tourists. Probably, the specific microclimate in the cave, including the constant presence of ice caps and low temperature, as well as the location and surrounding environment, contributes to the unique species composition of aeromycota and their spores in the cave. Thus, aero-mycological monitoring of underground sites seems to be very important for their ecosystems, and it may help reduce the risk of fungal infections in humans and other mammals that may arise in particular due to climate change. 相似文献

Both house dust and house dust mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus contained a wider range of fungi than laboratory mite cultures. In total, nine species of fungi were isolated from D. pteronyssinus in house dust, and these included three xerophilic species ( Eurotium amstelodami, Aspergillus penicillioides and Wallemia sebi) commonly found in laboratory cultures of D. pteronyssinus. It is concluded that mites do interact with a similar range of fungi in natural dust and in laboratory culture, but that the diversity of fungal species in the laboratory is reduced and the density of individual fungal species in culture exceeds that of house dust. In a second experiment, dust samples were incubated at room temperature with 75% relative humidity. The diversity of fungi invariably declined from up to 13 genera to the few species recorded in laboratory culture. This suggests that the dominance of xerophilic fungi in laboratory mite rearings is mediated primarily by low relative humidity, and the exclusion of air-borne spores. 相似文献

The deposition of the airborne microorganisms onto cultural heritage is associated closely with the subsequent biodeterioration. In this study, a systematic investigation was carried out to detect the seasonal variation and diversity of airborne fungal concentration at the World Cultural Heritage Site Maijishan Grottoes in western China. A bio-aerosol sampler was deployed to collect samples over four seasons in 2016. The culturable airborne fungi were isolated, purified and then identified with the extraction of genomic DNA, PCR amplification of ITS rRNA region, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. The concentrations of culturable fungi ranged from 216 to 1389 CFU/m3, which varied seasonally with significant differences among the sampling sites. Fifteen different fungal genera were confirmed, among them, Cladosporium was the most predominant fungal genus, followed by Penicillium. The fungal community structure and their relationship with environmental factors were also delineated. The spatial–temporal differences of airborne fungi at Maijishan Grottoes were mainly due to height, rainfall, relative humidity, and temperature. The dominant genera Cladosporium and Penicillium may pose potential threats to the ancient painted sculptures and murals, and monitoring of the airborne fungi at such a heritage site could provide supporting data for the pre-warning and control of fungal outbreaks inside the caves for better management. 相似文献

Fungal airborne spores were studied from September 1996throughout August 1997 in Santiago, Chile. Total concentrationsfluctuated between 308 and 10,334 spores/m 3/day withan annual mean of 2,154 per m 3, the highest dispersion beingduring April and May. Forty-five percent of total fungal content wasfound in autumn. Thirteen genera and 3 other spore types wereidentified. Cladosporium, the most abundant genera in ouratmosphere, contributed with 70.9% of the total fungi counts andreached an annual mean of 1,527 spores/m 3/day, itshighest frequency being in autumn. Alternaria appeared as thesecond most frequent genera, with an annual mean of 40spores/m 3/day, representing a 1.9% of theannual fungal catch. Altogether, Stemphylium, Torula, Epicoccum,Ganoderma, Helminthosporium, Chaetomiun, Pleospora and othersreached relative frequencies of 0.5% or less. It is concludedthat fungi are present in Santiago's atmosphere all year round, some ofthem with a clear seasonality. 相似文献

The study of congruency between phylogenies of interacting species can provide a powerful approach for understanding the evolutionary history of symbiotic associations. Orchid mycorrhizal fungi can survive independently of orchids making cospeciation unlikely, leading us to predict that any congruence would arise from host-switches to closely related fungal species. The Australasian orchid subtribe Drakaeinae is an iconic group of sexually deceptive orchids that consists of approximately 66 species. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary relationships between representatives of all six Drakaeinae orchid genera (39 species) and their mycorrhizal fungi. We used an exome capture dataset to generate the first well-resolved phylogeny of the Drakaeinae genera. A total of 10 closely related Tulasnella Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) and previously described species were associated with the Drakaeinae orchids. Three of them were shared among orchid genera, with each genus associating with 1–6 Tulasnella lineages. Cophylogenetic analyses show Drakaeinae orchids and their Tulasnella associates exhibit significant congruence ( p < 0.001) in the topology of their phylogenetic trees. An event-based method also revealed significant congruence in Drakaeinae– Tulasnella relationships, with duplications (35), losses (25), and failure to diverge (9) the most frequent events, with minimal evidence for cospeciation (1) and host-switches (2). The high number of duplications suggests that the orchids speciate independently from the fungi, and the fungal species association of the ancestral orchid species is typically maintained in the daughter species. For the Drakaeinae– Tulasnella interaction, a pattern of phylogenetic niche conservatism rather than coevolution likely explains the observed phylogenetic congruency in orchid and fungal phylogenies. Given that many orchid genera are characterized by sharing of fungal species between closely related orchid species, we predict that these findings may apply to a wide range of orchid lineages. 相似文献

The present aeromycological investigation was undertaken to study atmospheric fungal spores in Timi?oara (western Romania). This study was carried out using a Hirst type volumetric sampler. The study revealed the existence of a rich airborne mycoflora. The atmospheric fungal spores were classified and evaluated into three groups (‘major’, ‘minor’ and ‘sporadic’) depending upon their catch percentage in the air. Cladosporium/ Fusarium/ Leptosphaeria-group, Alternaria, Helminthosporium airborne fungal spores and airborne fungal fragments regularly recorded (frequency 100% of days). Cladosporium accounted for 81.09% of the outdoor fungal spores. The airborne fungal fragments have been identified as abundant in our geographic area. Spearman’s correlations were applied to meteorological parameters and airborne fungal spore concentrations. In addition, correlations were calculated between the fungal spore concentrations and the meteorological variables from the previous day. A total of eleven weather factors were selected for this investigation. Following Spearman’s correlations, I identified two patterns of behaviour: most of the airborne fungal spores prefer cloudiness, lower near-surface soil temperature, lower atmospheric pressure, higher relative humidity and precipitation (pattern A) while other spore concentrations favour increased sunshine, higher near-surface soil temperature and dry conditions (pattern B). The behaviour of some fungal spores during the warm season has proven unclear (pattern C). This study demonstrates the need for investigations throughout the year and the evaluation with complementary statistical methods, regarding the correct interpretation of airborne mycoflora relationships with meteorological parameters. 相似文献

Aerial dispersal of fungal spores is common, but the role of wind and air movement in dispersal of spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is largely unknown. Several studies have examined the possibility of AM fungal spores being moved by wind vectors without observing spores taken from the air environment. For the first time this study observed the presence of AM fungal spores in the air. The frequency of AM fungal spores in the air was determined in six North American biomes composed of 18 ecoregions. Multiple samples were taken from both the air and the soil at each location. AM fungal spores were found in high abundance in the soil (hundreds of spores per gram of soil), however, they were rarely found in the air (most samples contained no AM fungal spores). Furthermore, only the Glomus morphotype was found in the air, whereas spores in the soil were taxomomically more diverse ( Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Scutellospora morphotypes were observed). The proportion of Glomus spores in the air relative to Glomus spores in the soil was highest in more arid systems, indicating that AM fungi may be more likely to be dispersed in the air in such systems. Nonetheless, the results indicate that the air is not likely a dominant mode of dispersal for AM fungi. 相似文献

Fungal spores are among the most commonly encountered airborne biological particles, and it is widely proved that they represent a potential source of allergens involved in rhinitis and asthma. A change in temperature may influence the colonisation and growth of fungi directly through the physiology of individual organisms, or indirectly through physiological effects on their host plants or substrates and any competitors or enemies. In order to detect and monitor the evolution of the spore counts, air sampling was carried out using standard equipment (Hirst-type volumetric traps) and an identical method in several stations across France. Cladosporium has been here emphasised because of its very large contribution to the total fungal spectrum. Moreover, this taxon is of particular clinical importance because it possesses a high allergenic potential. The data from the oldest traps (Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux, Lyon, Paris and Toulouse) were analysed on an annual base. Located at different latitudes and in different climatic areas, these five cities showed fundamentally different trends for the concentrations of Cladosporium spores: downward trend at the southernmost locations and upward trend at the other locations, whereas temperature was everywhere continuously rising over the study period. However, longer data sets are needed to be able to draw more definitive conclusions about quantitative trends in airborne fungal spore concentrations. 相似文献

Orchidaceae is one of the most species-rich angiosperm families, and all orchids are fully dependent on fungi for their seed germination and their life cycle. The level of specificity of the association between orchid species and fungi can be related to the number of co-occurring orchid species. To investigate orchid mycorrhizal associations in adult-photosynthetic orchids, 16 Mediterranean orchid species belonging to 4 genera ( Anacamptis, Ophrys, Orchis, and Serapias) at 11 different sites were subjected to DNA-based analysis. Eighteen operational taxonomic units representing two fungal families, Tulasnellaceae and Ceratobasidiaceae, were identified. All examined orchid species associated with different mycorrhizal fungi. Interestingly, there was a positive correlation between number of orchid species and number of mycorrhizal. Monospecific populations showed a lower number of fungi, while sympatric populations had a higher number of mycorrhizal fungi. Our results showed that Mediterranean orchid species associated with a higher number of mycorrhizal fungi confirming as photosynthetic orchids are typically generalists toward mycorrhizal fungi. Thus, photosynthetic orchids exhibit low specificity for fungal symbionts showing the potential for opportunistic associations with diverse fungi reducing competition for nutrient. We suggest that these characteristics could confer symbiotic assurance particularly in habitat with resource limitations or prone to stressful conditions. 相似文献

Exposure to airborne microorganisms in indoor environments may result in infectious disease or elicit an allergic or irritant response. Air handling system components contaminated by fungi have been implicated in the dispersal of spores into the indoor environment, thereby serving as a route of exposure to occupants. This study was conducted to provide quantitative data on the dispersal of spores from fungal colonies growing on three types of duct material. Galvanized metal, rigid fibrous glass ductboard, and fiberglass duct liner were soiled and contaminated with a known concentration of Penicillium chrysogenum spores. The duct materials were incubated in humidity chambers to provide a matrix of growing, sporulating fungal colonies at a contamination level of 109 colony forming units (CFU) per duct section, consistent for all materials. For each experiment a contaminated duct section was inserted into the air handling system of an experimental room, and the air handling system was operated for three 5-minute cycles with an air flow of 4.2 m3 min–1. The duct air velocity was approximately 2.8 m sec–1. The airborne concentration of culturable P. chrysogenum spores (CFU m–3), total P. chrysogenum spores (spores m–3), and total P. chrysogenum-sized particles (particles m–3) were measured in the room using Andersen single-stage impactor samplers, Burkard slide impactor samplers, and an aerodynamic particle sizer, respectively. The highest airborne concentrations (104 CFU m–3; 105 spores m–3; 104 particles m–3) were measured during the first operating cycle of the air handling system for all duct materials with decreasing airborne concentrations measured during the second and third cycles. There was no significant difference in spore dispersal from the three contaminated duct materials. These data demonstrate the potential exposure for building occupants to high concentrations of spores dispersed from fungal colonies on air handling system duct materials during normal operation of the system. 相似文献

The present study sought to examine Coprinus and Ganoderma airborne spore counts, analysing seasonal variations, the influence of meteorological variables and intraday behaviour with a view to charting the aerobiological dynamics of both genera in Havana (Cuba) during a 2-year period (November 2010–October 2012). A Hirst-type volumetric air sampler was used as sampling methodology. The spores registered in the air were identified and counted following the model proposed by the Spanish Aerobiological Network based on two longitudinal transects along the slides. Coprinus spores outnumbered those of the Ganoderma (28,468 annual total spores vs. 1,921 spores). Moreover, both genera were recorded in the atmosphere on a large number of days over the two-year study period, with daily maximum concentrations in the rainy months. The daily maximum value for Coprinus was 880 spores/m 3 (30 September 2011), whereas for Ganoderma 44 spores/m 3 (4 September 2011). The analysis of the Spearman correlation coefficient showed a significant positive correlation of the airborne Coprinus and Ganoderma spores with the temperature, relative humidity and rainfall, whereas the degree of association is negative with the wind speed. Regarding the intraday behaviour, both basidiospores were more abundant in the atmosphere during the night, with a maximum peak at 5–6 a.m. 相似文献

The Havana aeromycobiota diversity was studied from November 2010 to October 2011 using two complementary volumetric methods. A total of 35 fungal genera were characterised, 26 of them were recognised only by non-viable methods, six with viable methodology and the other three with both sampling methods. Furthermore, 47 species were identified by cultivation and the spores collected with the non-viable methodology. These could not be included in a specific genus, and thus, were categorised into five fungal types. In general, the main, spread worldwide, mitosporic fungi also predominated the Havana atmosphere. The predominant species were Cladosporium cladosporioides, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium citrinum. Moreover, several Zygomycetes ( Syncephalastrum racemosum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Rhizopus oryzae), Ascomycetes ( Chaetomium globosum) and Basidiomycetes such as Coprinus or Ganoderma were isolated. In the present paper, the review of the airborne fungi conducted in previous studies in Cuba was completed by the detection of two new genera and the first isolation of ten new records in the Cuban atmosphere. Most of the fungi detected showed a diurnal pattern with high spore peak at 11.00–12.00. 相似文献
