Fungal Diversity in UNIMAS central air-conditioning system: A study on FRST laboratory

Fungi are ubiquitous organism that can be found everywhere, including indoor environments such as laboratory. The present study was conducted to determine the diversity of the fungi exist in the laboratory. Therefore, three medias were used for the samplings such as Cornmeal (CM), Potato Dextrose Ag...
