Description
Summary:By using different time intervals for making different serial suspensions of almost equal concentration of spores/hyphae, a better technique for quantitative isolations of microfungi during the biodegradation of agricultural wastes has been developed and described. A comparison of microfungal populations obtained by this proposed ‘serial washing technique’ and the widely used dilution plate technique has been made. The technique may also be standardised for the quantitative isolations of microfungi from the phylloplane. It is expected that the technique will have wide application for quantitative isolation of microorganisms from various deteriorating/degrading materials in nature.
