As part of a worldwide survey of the indoor mycobiota, dust was collected from nine countries. Analyses of dust samples included the culture-dependent dilution-to-extinction method and the culture-independent 454-pyrosequencing. Of the 7 904 isolates, 2 717 isolates were identified as belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium and Talaromyces. The aim of this study was to identify isolates to species level and describe the new species found. Secondly, we wanted to create a reliable reference sequence database to be used for next-generation sequencing projects. Isolates represented 59 Aspergillus species, including eight undescribed species, 49 Penicillium species of which seven were undescribed and 18 Talaromyces species including three described here as new. In total, 568 ITS barcodes were generated, and 391 β-tubulin and 507 calmodulin sequences, which serve as alternative identification markers.

“…(Er et al, 2018). Menurut Chunduri (2014), fungi ditemukan tersebar di kertas, kayu, plaster, lukisan, pakaian dengan persentase kadar air sekitar 12%-15% dan temperatur yang mendukung untuk pertumbuhan fungi tersebut. Beberapa genus fungi yang tahan terhadap kekeringan seperti Aspergillus dan Penicillium dapat tumbuh paling baik pada suhu 21,1°C hingga 32.2°C, lambat pada 10°C, berhenti tumbuh pada suhu 1°C hingga 4,4°C, mudah bertahan dari titik beku atau nol, tetapi tidak mati.…”

The presence of molds in the environment around us can be beneficial or detrimental. Mold can be found in various places, including soil, air, plants, animals, water, and on material surfaces. One of the roles of mold is as a bio-degradator and biodeterioration agent on materials that are still used, so that it will cause harm to humans. This study aims to isolate and characterize the types of molds that exist on the surface of existing materials in the biology laboratory environment of Diponegoro University with the contact plate method. The method used is to attach a contact plate containing PDA to various materials such as tables, chairs, cabinets, and so on, then observe the macroscopic and microscopic morphology. The results obtained were five genera, there are Aspergillus, Penicillium, Eurotium, Rhizopus, and Absidia.

“…Built environments are usually well regulated to ensure moderate temperatures and low humidity, while they contain recalcitrant and nonrecalcitrant carbon sources (e.g., building materials, textiles, food, and dust). When fungi grow, they typically release billions of airborne spores and fragments that can affect humans as allergens (Horner et al, 1995 ; Osborne et al, 2015 ) or pathogens (de Hoog et al, 2014 ), spoil food (Pitt & Hocking, 2009 ; Samson et al, 2019 ), or cause structural damage to building materials or artifacts of significant historical value (Cavka et al, 2010 ; Chunduri, 2014 ; Gabriel & Švec, 2017 ; Kauserud et al, 2007 ; Ljaljevic‐Grbic et al, 2013 ; Piñar et al, 2013 , 2015 , 2020 ; Pinheiro, Mesquita, et al, 2019 ; Pinheiro, Sequeira, et al, 2019 ; Schmidt, 2007 ; Sklenář et al, 2017 ; Trovão et al, 2020 ).…”

A new species of the yeast genus Blastobotrys was discovered during a worldwide survey of culturable xerophilic fungi in house dust. Several culture-dependent and independent studies from around the world detected the same species from a wide range of substrates including indoor air, cave wall paintings, bats, mummies, and the iconic self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci from ca 1512. However, none of these studies identified their strains, clones, or OTUs as Blastobotrys. We introduce the new species as Blastobotrys davincii f.a., sp. nov. (holotype CBS H-24879) and delineate it from other species using morphological, phylogenetic, and physiological characters. The new species of asexually (anamorphic) budding yeast is classified in Trichomonascaceae and forms a clade along with its associated sexual state genus Trichomonascus. Despite the decade-old requirement to use a single generic name for fungi, both names are still used. Selection of the preferred name awaits a formal nomenclatural proposal. We present arguments for adopting Blastobotrys over Trichomonascus and introduce four new combinations as Blastobotrys allociferrii (≡ Candida allociferrii), B. fungorum (≡ Sporothrix fungorum), B. mucifer (≡ Candida mucifera), and Blastobotrys vanleenenianus (≡ Trichomonascus vanleenenianus). We provide a nomenclatural review and an accepted species list for the 37 accepted species in the Blastobotrys/Trichomonascus clade. Finally, we discuss the identity of the DNA clones detected on the da Vinci portrait, and the importance of using appropriate media to isolate xerophilic or halophilic fungi.
