The seasonal distribution of fungal spore concentration in the city of Porto, Portugal, was continuously studied, from 1 January to 31 December 2003, using a 7-day volumetric Burkard trap. In Portugal, aerobiological studies are scarce, and to our knowledge there are no published data on the atmospheric concentration of fungal spores. The aim of this work therefore is to initiate the aeromycological studies in Porto. The total airborne spore concentration fluctuated between 2 and 2,198 spores/m3 per day with an daily mean of 403 spores/m3. The highest airborne spore concentration was found during the summer and the early autumn, while the lowest concentration was registered during the winter. A range of allergenic and phytopathogenic fungal spores was present in the atmosphere of Porto throughout the entire year, although in different concentrations. Among the 22 fungal spore types identified Cladosporium (74.5%), Ganoderma (11.7%), Aspergillaceae (2.9%), Ustilago (2.5%), Coprinus (1.5%), Alternaria (1.3%) and Botrytis (1.3%) were the most frequent. Seasonally, spore levels of Cladosporium and Alternaria peaked in the autumn and winter, Ganoderma peaked toward autumn, whilst spore levels of the basidiomycete Coprinus fluctuated throughout the year. The total spore concentration was negatively correlated with wind speed and positively correlated with temperature and relative humidity.

The alkaloids dehydrocorydalmine and oxyberberine isolated from Argemone mexicana were assessed against spore germination of some fungi, e.g., Alternaria cajani, Bipolaris sp., Helminthosporium sp., Fusarium udum and Curvularia sp. While dehydrocorydalmine inhibited 100% spore germination of the fungi Helminthosporium sp. and Curvularia sp. at 5 000 ppm, oxyberberine showed similar activity against spore germination of Bipolaris sp. and Curvularia sp. All the five fungi were significantly inhibited at 1 000 to 5 000 ppm concentrations.

Pollen and spore forecasting has become an important aim in aerobiology. The main goal is to provide accurate information on biological particles in the air to sensitive users in order to help them optimize their treatment process. Many statistical methods of data analysis are based on the assumptions of linearity and normality that often cannot be fulfilled. The advanced statistical methods can be applied to the problems that cannot be solved in any other effective way, and are suited to predicting the concentration of airborne pollen or spores in relation to weather conditions. The purpose of the study was to review some advanced statistical methods that can be used in aerobiological studies.

The co-occurrence of airborne allergenic pollen grains and fungal spores was estimated in Rzeszów in the years 2000- 2002. The volumetric method was used in this aerobiological study. Six taxa of pollen grains and fi ve types of fungal spores characterized by strong allergenicity and/or high concentrations in the air were analyzed. The time series of pollen grains and fungal spores were compared using PCA analysis. The periods of the greatest concentrations of tree pollen did not coincide with similar periods for herbaceous plants and fungal spores. From February to mid-March, Alnus pollen dominated in the air. The second period was characterized by Betula pollen. It occurred in April. Herbaceous pollen and fungal spores occurred in the air simultaneously (from mid May to the end of August), creating a risky situation for sensitized people. The periods of the highest concentrations of Epicoccum and Ganoderma fungal spores did not coincide with the same period for the examined plant taxa. In Rzeszów the probability of becoming exposed to very high concentrations of allergenic pollen and fungal spores at the same time was high, especially in July, when the highest concentrations of Poaceae, Alternaria and Cladosporium were noted. The hypersensitivity to only one plant or fungal allergen is rarely encountered. Under the present scenarios of global warming, pollen seasons of many taxa will be longer and sufferers will have year-long symptoms.

Continuous aerobiological monitoring has been conducted in Rzeszów from 2000-2002, using the volumetric method. On each microscope slide 1 horizontal band was analyzed, divided into 24 fields corresponding to hours. For the analysis, 10 easy to identify fungal spores were chosen from ones regarded as allergenic: Alternaria, Botrytis, Cladosporium, Drechslera (type), Epiccocum, Ganoderma, Pithomyces, Polythrincium, Stemphylium, and Torula. The results were statistically tested using the x2 test as well as the Kruskal-Wallis test and ANOVA. The results were used to develop a calendar of the occurrence of fungal spores in Rzeszow. The spores occurred in the air throughout the whole year, but maximum concentrations were usually reached in July and August. Two groups of taxa were distinguished. Alternaria, Cladosporium, Botrytis, Epicoccum, Ganoderma spp. and Drechslera belong to the first group, and their spores and conidia were characterised by high frequency and abundance in the air. Low SFI values (Seasonal Fungal Index) and frequency of below 50% occurred in the second group of taxa, i.e. Pithomyces, Polythrincium, Stemphylium and Torula spp. Conidia of Cladosporium spp. were the most frequent, SFI values were very high and average annual concentrations did not differ significantly throughout the 3 years of study. The research confirmed the overlap of the period of maximum concentration of allergenic spores and the period of the domination of Poaceae and Artemisia pollen in the air.

The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between meteorological conditions and Alternaria and Cladosporium spore concentrations in the air of Zagreb in August 2002 and August 2003. These months were chosen because they represented climatic extremes. A 7-day VPPS 2000 Hirst volumetric pollen and spore trap was used for spore sampling. Spores marked as 'others' (ascospores, basidiospores, Epicoccum, Ustilago, Pithomyces, Helminthosporium, Stemphylium, Torula, Botrytis, Didymella) were found to have predominated in the month of August in both 2002 and 2003 with 91.1% and 70.5%, respectively. Because of favourable weather conditions (higher air temperature and minimal precipitation) in August 2003, the concentrations of Alternaria and Cladosporium spores were 3.4-fold those recorded in the same month in 2002. Also, the peak daily concentrations of these spores were measured on days without precipitation and with higher air temperature. Intradiuranal variation in the Alternaria and Cladosporium spore concentrations was identical in 2002 and 2003 (lowest in 2-hour interval between 06:00-08:00, and highest between 10:00-12:00). In spite of the three-fold increase in the Cladosporium spore concentration in August 2003, the borderline concentration of 3,000 spores/m3 air that is associated with the occurrence of allergic reactions was only exceeded on a single day. Air concentration of Alternaria spores exceeded borderline value of 100 spores/m3 air on as many as 17 days, suggesting that at that time of the year the risk of allergic reaction was only present in individuals allergic to this spore type.

The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of volatile organic compounds found in the air in five production halls at a furniture manufacturing plant. Tests were performed in production halls, where machining operations were performed both on wood and wood-based materials, in shop halls in which surface-finishing operations were performed, as well as a finished goods warehouse.A Tenax TA synthetic sorbent was used to adsorb compounds found in the air.Volatile substances were analysed by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry and thermal desorption. It was found that the microclimate in the examined production halls varied. Differences were observed not only in the type of compounds detected in the shop halls, but also in their amounts. The analysed air contained a broad spectrum of volatile compounds, mainly alcohols, glycols, aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, esters and terpenes. The total concentrationof volatile organic compounds (TVOC) found in the air in the examined production halls varied within a very broad range from 795 to 5113 μg/m3. The concentrations of volatile organic compounds identified in the production halls were markedly lower than those specified by Polish legal regulations - the Ordinance of the Minister of Labour and Social Policy of 2002 (with later amendments).

A simple and efficient method of carrying out biotransformation reactions on terpenoid compounds was developed. For these experiments, a sporulated surface culture of Penicillium sp. was inoculated on solid media in conical flasks. After a short incubation the spores germinated and a mycelia culture was formed. After a week the cultures had completely sporulated and a bioconversion reaction started. For this purpose, a known volume of menthol was added onto the sporulated surface of culture. After 7 days, a period during which transformation took place, menthol was extracted with Et2O three times. After evaporation the recognition by GC and GC/MS was followed. The main bioconverted products obtained from menthol by surface Penicillium sp. with the use of sporulated surface culture were α-pinene (18.0%), sabinene (11.6%), trans-p-menthan-1-ol (10.6%), p-menth-1-ene (5.8%), 1,8-cineole (6.4%) and limonene (3.2%). The pathways of biotransformation of menthol by Penicillium sp. to main products are also discussed.

Arbuscular mycorrizal (AM) fungi may enhance plant growth and polyphenol production, however, there have been limited studies on the relationships between root colonization of different fungal species and polyphenol production on cultivated Allium porrum (garden leek). The effects of inoculation of AM fungi spores from Rhizophagus intraradices, Giga -spora margarita, Glomus geosporum, Paraglomus occultum, Claroideoglomus claroideum, and Glomus species on colonization of garden leek roots and symbiotic changes in polyphenol production and plant growth were evaluated in greenhouse experiments. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in colonization of leek roots by AM fungi species. The greatest level of root colonization was recorded on plants inoculated with R. intraradices (73%) and the lowest level on C. claroideum (3.2%). Significant differences (p < 0.05) in plant height were recorded between AM inoculated plants and the controls. Polyphenol levels differed significantly (p < 0.05) between garden leek plants inoculated with AM fungi and the non-inoculated controls. The percentage increases in polyphenol (a derivative of kaempferol) on garden leeks inoculated with G. geosporum relative to the untreated controls ranged from 28 to 1123%. Due to symbiosis with different AM species, other polyphenols decreased in some instances (negative values) and increased in others for values of up to 590%. Results showed that AM fungi species exhibited remarkable differences in polyphenol levels in garden leeks. The high polyphenol production by garden leek plants inoculated with G. geosporum, and Glomus species could be exploited for enhanced resistance of garden leeks to insects and diseases. This research highlights an understudied area, notably the relationships between AM fungal inoculations, root colonizations and polyphenol production in garden leeks. The findings can be utilized to improve pest resistance and the quality of garden leek plants.

The aim of the study was to estimate the spore counts of Alternaria and Cladosporium using the single longitudinal traverse and twelve transverse traverses methods. Both the single and twelve traverses methods generally showed similar average daily concentration fluctuations of the two studied spore types on the same days, although the single traverse method usually presented higher spore concentrations. However, analysing the distribution of concentrations obtained using both methods, there were days when the single or twelve traverses method showed a rise or fall in concentration which was not reflected by the other method. In case of Cladosporium higher daily concentrations obtained using the twelve traverses method occurred more frequently in the months of the highest spore concentrations. The higher concentrations of Alternaria spores obtained using this method occurred more frequently in the months of the lowest concentrations. Analysis of correlation (Pearson’s correlation coefficient r) between those variables (number of days with higher concentration and monthly concentration) showed that the correlation was significant for Cladosporium and not significant for Alternaria, for both at the significance level alpha = 0.05. The results of the Wilcoxon’s Paired Sample Test indicated that for both taxa the average daily concentrations obtained using the 1 traverse method were significantly higher than those obtained using the 12 traverses method.

Mycological investigations were carried out in areas of intensive vehicle traffic (intersections) in Cracow. The results indicated considerable concentrations of fungi spores in the air at sites with heavy traffic (highest at 7007.0 spores/m3). At the control site, two hundred meters from an intersection, the number of fungi spores was several times lower (2802.8 spores/m3). Cladosporium herbarum, Penicillium viridicatum and P. lanosum, Aspergillus versicolor and A. fumigatus, and Alternaría alternata were noted at all sites examined.
