|
These studies had been the fluctuations of population of air borne fungi at monthly intervals from October 1977 to March 1978. It is presented as a summary from an environmental factors and provide information -on the incidence of fungi found indoors and outdoors.
The results were obtained as follows:
1. Among the 3412 strains, the 2783 strains were indentified 21 genera and predominant species were Cladosporium sp. (35.5%), Penicillium sp. (16.3%), Aspergillus sp. (7.19%) Alternaria sp. (6.98%) and Rhodotorula sp. (1.35%) and other unidentified strains (18. 44%) in decreasing order of frequency.
2. The monthly fluctuation of number of cultured colonies of four predominant fungi were 735 in September, 181 in December and 205 in March.
3. It was suggested that there might be a relationship with environmental factors. Total number of colonies decreased markedly in December and January and outdoors also cecreased in December and January, it seemed to be closely related to cold weather temperature.
4. The number of cultured colonies at various times of the day did not show much fluctuation except 1:00 p.m. at the outdoor samples.
