Numbers and kinds of microfungi were investigated by exposing a Petri dish of malt extract agar medium for 15 minutes and then counting the number of colonies which develop. Sampling procedure for microfungi was performed 8 times at an interval of 45 days between Dec. 1st 1995-Oct. 15th 1996. A total of 3152 colonies was counted on 864 petri plates in a one year period. As a result, 63 mould species and 4 varieties belonging to 20 genera were isolated by means of pure culture methods. Of these, 7 species and 1 variety belonging to Aspergillus and Penicillium genera are new records for Turkey.en10.1023/A:1007623831010info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAirborne Fungi; Food; Indoor Air; TurkeyAirborne Particle; Article; Aspergillus; Food Contamination; Food Processing; Food Storage; Fungus Identification; Nonhuman; Penicillium; Priority Journal; Turkey (Republic)Article1532252312-s2.0-0345466588Q2
