Abstract

In our study, surface and environmental air samples from the historical buildings (houses, kiosks, Turkish bath, khans, train station) in seven different locations were investigated for their fungal flora. Sampling was performed in seven locations in Izmir (Bornova, Buca, Cesme, Foca, Karsiyaka, Konak and Tire) in autumn and summer of 2009. Totally 192 isolates were obtained from the air and surface samples of these places. Air samples were collected using a MAS-100 Microbial Air Sampler (Merck) and fungal load were detected by using Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar (RBCA, Merck). Biofilm samples were obtained from different surfaces (stone, wood, plaster, marble, limestone, brick and paint). As a result of our study, 25 genera related to Zygomycota, anamorph Ascomycota and teleomorph Ascomycota were identified. Besides, Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Phoma sp., Alternaria sp., Chaetomium sp. and Cladosporium sp. were appeared the most frequently fungi genera. However, 6 isolates were not identified. It was observed that Aspergillus sp. was at the first stage with frequency of 21.88% while Penicillium sp. was at the second stage with 17.70%. In our study it was also shown that fungal load was much more in autumn than in summer due to its high moisture content and optimum temperature.Keywords:Airborne fungi, Ascomycota, Biofilm, Biomass, Microfungi.*Corresponding Author: Aslı Sahiner (e-mail: [email protected] )(Received: 03.08.2012 Accepted: 03.01.2012)

Özet

Bu çalışmada İzmir’deki bazı önemli tarihi binalarda bulunan fungal flora incelenmiştir. Örnekler, 2009 yılının sonbahar ve yaz dönemlerinde İzmir’deki yedi farklı lokasyondan (Bornova, Buca, Çeşme, Foça, Karşıyaka, Konak and Tire) toplanmıştır. Bu lokasyonların hava ve yüzey örneklerinden toplam 192 izolat elde edilmiştir. Hava örnekleri MAS-100 Microbial Air Sampler (Merck) kullanılarak toplanmıştır ve fungal yük Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar (RBCA, Merck) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Biyofilm örnekleri çeşitli yüzeylerden (tahta, taş, plastik, mermer, kireçtaşı, tuğla ve boya) alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda Zygomycota, anamorf Ascomycota ve teleomorf Ascomycota’ya ait 25 genus bulunmuştur. Bunun yanında, en sık rastlanılan fungus genusları Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Phoma sp., Alternaria sp., Chaetomium sp. ve Cladosporium sp. olarak bulunmuştur ancak 6 izolat tanımlanamamıştır. Aspergillus sp. %21,88 oranla en sık görülen genus olmuştur. Bunu %17,70 oranla Penicillium sp. izlemektedir. Aynı zamanda bu çalışmada, yüksek nem oranı ve optimum sıcaklığa bağlı olarak fungal yükün sonbahar döneminde, yaz dönemine göre çok daha fazla olduğu gösterilmiştir.
