Aeromycology
Aeromycology deals with the occurrence of fungi/fungal elements in the air. The air mycroflora is very diverse. It has both viable as well as non-viable fungi. Some of the air-borne fungi can be isolated and culture under the laboratory conditions. Commonly it is refer as “Culturable Fungi”. Several others can be trapped from the ambient air but either hard to culture or fail to grow altogether under laboratory conditions. They are known as non-culturable fungi of air. The identification and enumeration of air-borne fungi is not an easy task. It is important to have an appropriate method to study these airborne entities. Selection of an appropriate microbiological media as well as mycological techniques is one of the essential aspect for study this aerobiota.
