Description :
The fungal spores and hyphal fragments are commonly recorded in the air and are important for survival and subsequent continuation of generations. Such fungal spores are one of the major important components responsible for allergic disorders as spores are inhaled and deposited on sensitive mucosa.Many such airborne microorganisms are responsible for biodegradation of storage materials, equipment, library materials, painting etc. In the present studies, biodiversity of fungi appearing in indoor and outdoor premises of college campus was investigated. The study was carried out during the month of October, November and December which are representative of winter season. This particular season involves maximum students’ activities. Wide fungal diversity was observed in both indoor and outdoor area during winter season. The present study gives comprehensive overview of presence and distribution of various fungal spores in both Indoor and Outdoor areas during winter season. This study would be important for effective management of fungal spore related problems affecting human life.
