Abstract:At present, there is no unified culture
medium to quantify
the
cultivability of fungal spores in water, making comparisons between
studies difficult. This study intended to select an appropriate medium
to obtain a lower percentage of viable but nonculturable Aspergillus spores at different viable states (freshly prepared, impaired-treated)
and fungi in actual water. Five kinds of media ((dichloran rose bengal
chloramphenicol (DRBC) agar, potato dextrose agar (PDA), dichloran
18% glycerol (DG-18) agar, rose ben… Show more
