Colonial and Morphological Characteristics of Soil Fungi from Jhum Land

Abstract

Soil fungi represent one of the important microbial groups that are actively involved in enhancement of environmental quality and plant nutrient supply. Studying native soil fungal species and their accurate identification is crucial for contribution to the checklist of fungi. The present study aimed at isolation and identification of some soil fungi from Jhum land, Mokokchung district, Nagaland. Serial dilution method was used to isolate soil fungi on RBA (Rose Bengal Agar) and PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) plates. Altogether fourteen fungal species belonging to genera Absidia, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Geotrichum, Mortierella, Mucor, Penicillium and Trichoderma were identified by studying their macro- and micro-morphological characteristics.

“…10 ml suspension arc transferred immediately through successive 90 ml sterile water blanks until the desired final dilution is reached. One ml desired dilution is transferred aseptically in each Petri dishes contain medium, cooled to just above the solidifying temperature are added to each dish ( 10 , 11 ). For fungal isolation, three types of media were used: glucose–Czapek’s agar medium g/L (Sodium nitrate, 3g; dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 1g; magnesium sulphate 7H 2 O, 0.5g; potassium chloride, 0.5g; ferrous sulphate 7H 2 O,0.01g; glucose, 10 g and agar, 20g).…”
