Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine seed-borne microfungi and their distributions on stored wheat grains. Wheat samples of the harvest season of 2014, which were stored in silos, were collected from 60 different silos in 21 villages of Edirne province of Turkey. Microfungi carried on wheat grains were isolated and they were identified by cultural methods. A total of 79 different microfungal species in wheat samples was determined. The species belonging to Alternaria genus were found in 52 wheat samples and it was followed by Penicillium in 44 samples, 73.33% , Cladosporium in 40 samples, 66.67% , Aspergillus in 39 samples, 65.00% , and Rhizous in 18 samples, 30.00% , According to the distributions in wheat samples, the most common species were Alternaria citri, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Aspergillus tritici and Penicillium chrysogenum. The most diverse specie was Penicillium genus with 12 species, and it was followed by Aspergillus with 9 species. While 1 to18 different species were isolated from most of the wheat samples, no microfungus was isolated from one wheat sample

Edirne İlinde Hasat Sonrası Depolanmış Buğdaylar Üzerinde Taşınan Mikrofungusların İzolasyon ve İdentifikasyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, depolanmış buğdaylar üzerinde taşınan mikrofungusların ve dağılımlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Edirne iline bağlı 21 farklı köyde bulunan 60 ambardan 2014 yılı hasat sezonunda toplanan ve ambarlarda depolanmış olan buğday örnekleri alınmıştır. Buğday taneleri üzerinde taşınan mikrofunguslar izole edilerek, kültürel yöntemlerle identifikasyonları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan teşhisler sonucunda analize alınan buğday örneklerinde toplam olarak 79 farklı tür tespit edilmiştir. Alternaria cinsine ait türler 52 %86.67 , Penicillium cinsine ait türler 44 %73.33 , Cladosporium cinsine ait türler 40 %66.67 , Aspergillus cinsine ait türler 39 %65.00 ve Rhizopus cinsine ait türler 18 %30.00 adet buğday örneğinde bulunmuştur. Buğday örneklerindeki dağılımlarına bakıldığında en yaygın olarak gözlenen türler ise sırası ile Alternaria citri, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Aspergillus tritici ve Penicillium chrysogenum olmuştur. En fazla tür çeşitliliği 12 tür ile Penicillium cinsinde gözlenirken bunu 9 tür ile Aspergillus cinsi takip etmiştir. Buğday örneklerinde tür çeşitliliği açısından bakıldığında 1-18 adet farklı mikrofungus türü gözlenirken, 1 örnekte ise hiç mikrofungus izole edilmemiştir
