Some micromycetes isolated from spoiled food and soil in Argentine Antarctica

The main objective of this study was to identify some micro fungi isolated from soil of Potter peninsula (Antarctica), which were involved in food spoiling at Jubany base. Different solid culture media were used to isolate 66 fungal strains from spoiled food and soil. Twelve saprophytic, spoiling an...

Description
Summary:The main objective of this study was to identify some micro fungi isolated from soil of Potter peninsula (Antarctica), which were involved in food spoiling at Jubany base. Different solid culture media were used to isolate 66 fungal strains from spoiled food and soil. Twelve saprophytic, spoiling and/or toxicogenic taxa belonging to the genera Doratomyces, Geomyces, Oidiodendron y Penicillium were identified; eight of them with full descriptions and drawings. This is the first record of Geomyces pannorum var. vinaceus and Oidiodendron griseum recovered from the Argentine Antarctica. Fil:Comerio, R.M. Universidad de Buenos Aires.
