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 />
<strong>Book</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong><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 />
Colletotrichum, Nodulisporium, Pestalotiopsis and
