578 - Micromycetes in book depositories<br />

The micromycetes inhabiting air and the surface <strong>of</strong> the<br />

books were studied in 7 large book depositories <strong>of</strong> the<br />

National Library <strong>of</strong> Russia (Saint-Petersburg). The study<br />

was performed during 1995-2001. Micromycetes were<br />

isolated from numerous characteristic points and<br />

investigated in vitro. Total concentration <strong>of</strong> airborne fungal<br />

spores were examined. Furthermore physical<br />

characterististics <strong>of</strong> studied lodgings measured too. Total <strong>of</strong><br />

100 fungal species were recorded. The list included species<br />

belonging to 33 genera, mainly from Deuteromycetes.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> them had a wide occurance, whereas for some<br />

species it was the rather limited. The dominant and the rare<br />

species were indicated. Most likely the distinction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

fungal microcommunities in the studied book depositories<br />

usually were resulting from presence <strong>of</strong> accidental species.<br />

Season changes on fungal composition <strong>of</strong> revealed<br />

microcommunities were also recorded. Considerable<br />

fluctuations <strong>of</strong> concentration <strong>of</strong> airborne fungi depended<br />

upon ecological factors variation. Between them were<br />

tempaterature, humidity and chemical properties <strong>of</strong> paper<br />

type. There were determined the conditions increasing the<br />

content <strong>of</strong> viable and conversely, factors completely<br />

inhibiting the concentration <strong>of</strong> micromycetes in book<br />

depositories.<br />

Abstract In present investigation 360 soil samples from<br />

urban and rural areas <strong>of</strong> Agra, were analysed. Out <strong>of</strong> which<br />

296 were recorded positive for urban area and 238 for rural<br />

area. The percentage prevalence <strong>of</strong> dermatophytic and<br />

keratinophilic fungi were calculated 82.2% and 66.7% for<br />

urban and rural areas respectively. Total 21 species were<br />

recorded and isolated from baits amended soil collected<br />

different sites, out <strong>of</strong> which 9 sps were common in both<br />

sites. However, their prevalence varies with respect to sites.<br />

The major fungal species isolated from urban sites includes<br />

Chrysosporium (11 sps), Trichophyton (5 sps), while from<br />

rural area includes Chrysosporium (5 sps), Trichophyton (4<br />

sps), Myceliophthora (2 sps), Epidermophyton (1 sps) and<br />

Microsporum (1 sps). The maximum percentage prevalence<br />

<strong>of</strong> C. carmichaelii was observed in urban are (22.2%).<br />

While in rural areas M. vellerea was recorded. Thus, it is<br />

concluded that maximum prevalence <strong>of</strong> dermatophytes<br />

176<br />

were recorded in rural area due to prevailing unhygienic<br />

conditions as compared to urban areas.<br />

This paper reviews the results <strong>of</strong> several studies on the<br />

biodiversity <strong>of</strong> arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in a<br />

wide range <strong>of</strong> ecosystems in Indonesia, including natural<br />

forest, agricultural crops, plantation crops, botanic garden<br />

and peat swamp forest. Glomus and Acaulospora are the<br />

most common genera found in those ecosystems. At least<br />

33 spesies <strong>of</strong> AM fungi in the 39 locations surveyed were<br />

described. Glomus with 17 species comprises G.<br />

aggregatum, G. albidum, G. citricolum, G. clavisporum, G.<br />

etunicatum, G. fasciculatum, G. fuegianum, G. geosporum,<br />

G. lacteum, G. macrocarpum, G. manihotis, G.<br />

microaggregatum, G. microcarpum, G. multicaulis, G.<br />

rubiforme, G. sinuosum and G. versiforme. Acaulospora<br />

with 10 species comprise A. bireticulata, A. delicata, A.<br />

foveata, A. longula, A. mellea, A. rehmii, A. scrobiculata,<br />

A. spinosa, A. tuberculata, and A. walkeri. Scutellospora<br />

with 4 species comprise S. calospora, S. heterogama, S.<br />

pellucida, and S. projectura. The genera Entrophospora<br />

and Gigaspora are represented with one species each,<br />

Entrophospora infrequens and Gigaspora gigantea.<br />

Acaulospora walkeri and Scutellospora projectura are the<br />

two new species reported from Indonesia. The number <strong>of</strong><br />

AMF species varies from ecosystem to ecosystem,<br />

suggesting that their biodiversity can be influenced by soil<br />

conditions, cultural practices and vegetation types.<br />

Endophytic fungi were isolated from living symptomless<br />

leaves <strong>of</strong> 12 tree species from two locations in the<br />

Iwokrama Forest Reserve, Guyana. 64 fungal morphotaxa<br />

were characterized from 2492 cultures, which were derived<br />

from a total <strong>of</strong> 2520 sample units. Species <strong>of</strong><br />
