| contents | Airborne fungi isolated from rain water collected in Mexico City Carmen Calderón Sara Gutiérrez Pedro Mosiño Irma Rosas Ciencias de la Tierra A rcsearch was carried out on the lungi present in tlir atmosphere of Mexico City,through the analysis of rain watcr collected from June to Septcmber of 1982. To obtaindata ori a wide range oí fungi, isolations were made on Sabouraud dextrosc agar andpotatc) dcxtrosc agar plates incubated at the rnom tcmperaturc of 20-26QC for 48-72 hours.During tlic sampling period 600 to GOOO colonies per m1 were rccorded. The mostfrequent fungi were Cladosporium, Alternaria, Penicillium and yeasts. The relationshipbetween these airborne organisms and weather elements was established.It was found that wind speed was related to fungal counts through a corrclationcoefficient of r = 0.80 (p < 0.01). Identification at thc species leve1 of some fungi,such as Penicillium citrinum, P. clavigerurn, Fusarium semitectum, Aspergillus niger,A. candidus, A. glaucus and A. tamarii, allowed to show the presence of both pathogenicand allergenic fungi.This infonnation could be used in further studies of a medical or agronomical characterabout. the effect of environmental factors on the abundance and dispersion ofairborne fungi. 1986 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37000102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.1 Vol.2 |
