Abstract

The determination of fungal flora in various kinds of local grains have been carded out in order to obtain an appropriate information of the population of toxigenic fungi in Korean local grains. Results of fungal examination on nine kinds of grain such as soy bean(18 samples), red bean(12 samples), rice(8 samples), kidney bean(8 samples), millet(7 samples), barley(5 samples), malze(5 samples), wheat(4 samples) and sesame(3 samples) were described in this report. 1. Of the 70 various grains, 283 colonies of fungi were isolated. Among the 283 colonies, 262 were possible to identity into 15 genera. 2. Predominant genera of fungi in most local grains were Penicillium sp.(24.39%), Aspergillus sp.(20.49%) and Alternaria sp.(13.43%).
