Fungal Biodiversity on Slippers and Carpets Dusts in Three Mosques of Edirne City, Turkey

Abstract

This study was conducted for the purpose of identifying the microfungi types and numbers in carpets, carpet dusts and slippers in three mosques in the Edirne City and surveying of microfungi during perform an ablution. It was isolated 78.937 CFU/g microfungi in total during 12 months from the samples taken between the dates of October 2008 and September 2009 from the stations. Of the microfungi 83 CFU/g were dermatophyte. It was identified only one dermatophyte in the slippers. It was identified 24 fungal species in carpet samples. The genus Penicilium was on the first rank with 18.553 CFU/g and 49.03 % in carpets, followed by Trichoderma with 13.666 CFU/g and 25 %, and followed Cladosporium ranked three with 96.666 CFU/g and 12.34 %. It was found the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum in the mosques only for once (July 2009). Statistical analysis for identifying whether the fungal types and the total microfungi concentrations are related with various meteorological factors. The highest value in indoor carpets was isolated as 6.084 CFU/g on the October. As a result, it was identified that the carpet dust fungus concentrations in three mosques are within the range of healthy limit values.
