| incidence of allergenically significant fungal aerosol in a rural bakery of west bengal, india. | the frequency of fungal spores in the air of three different sections of a rural bakery was analyzed using a burkard personal slide sampler and andersen two stage viable sampler. in average concentration of spores (no./m3) was 228-26770/m3 and concentration of viable colony forming units (cfu/m3) was 65-2061 cfu/m3. dominant fungus species both culturable and nonculturable, were species of aspergillus and penicillium, cladosporium sp., aspergillus niger, aspergillus flavus, aspergillus fumigatus ... | 2000 | 11227852 |
| Monitoring and assessment of airborne fungi in Kolkata, India, by viable and non-viable air sampling methods. | The composition and variability of airborne fungal spores were studied using two complementary sampling methods in an outdoor environment in Kolkata suburb for 2 years, from November 2002 to October 2004. For monitoring the total fungal spore burden in the air, Burkard 7-day volumetric sampler was used, whereas Andersen two-sage viable sampler was used for isolating the cultivable airborne fungi. Among the 37 fungal spore types identified in the air samples, the predominant ones were Cladosporiu ... | 2011 | 21915605 |
