A STUDY ON MICROFUNGI FLORA OF ERZURUM’S OUTDOOR AIR
Öz
By using “Petri- Plate method” based on gravitation the microfungi flora of outdoor air in Erzurum city was studied. In this research 92 microfungi species and varieties were isolated from 288 samples taken monthly from 4 different areas of Erzurum’s outdoor air between January 1993- December 1994. Among the species, 83 belonged to Moniliales, 7 to Mucorales, 2 to Sphaeropsidales. 88 sterile microfungi colonies were also found. Excess colony numbers were Penicillium, Cladosporium Alternaria and Trichoderma. The most common species were Cladosporium herbarum, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium verrucosum var. verrucosum, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium fagi and Penicillium paxilli. In four stations which we have taken samples, the most excessive colonies were found was Sanayi station and the least colony numbers were countered in Şehitler station. Air pollution has been perceived very much in Sanayi and Gürcükapı stations. This pattern seems to be correlated to the human population and activities, the vegetation areas and environmental conditions.
