The investigations on air pollution in industrial cities of Lithuania: Vilnius, Alytus, Kaunas, Marijampole and Elektrenai were aimed at detecting the presence of fungi and aerosol particles during different seasons of the year. Sampling of fungal spores was carried out at 20 sampling sites. Active air sampling was performed simultaneously with the use of passive sedimentation plates. Data on the spread of various micromycete species in the air of cities contaminated with various pollutants are presented. Micromycetes of 430 species belonging to 165 genera, 19 families, 13 orders, 4 classes, and 3 phylla were isolated and identified. We found 21 species, 11 genera, 7 families from Ascomycota, 6 species, 1 genus, 1 family from Oomycota, 45 species, 15 genera, 8 families from Zygomycota. Mitosporic fungi comprised 138 genera, 358 species, and comprised the vast majority of identified species: 358 out of 430 (83.25 %). Conditionally pathogenic species were also isolated. It was concluded that the abundance of such fungi as Aspergillus niger, A. fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, Alternaria alternata, Aureobasidium pullulans in the air can be a significant criterion for the evaluation of air pollution.
对立陶宛工业城市维尔纽斯、阿利图斯、考纳斯、马里扬泊列和埃莱克泰奈的空气污染调查旨在检测一年中不同季节真菌和气溶胶颗粒的存在情况。在20个采样点进行了真菌孢子采样。同时使用被动沉降平板进行主动空气采样。呈现了在受各种污染物污染的城市空气中各种微真菌物种的传播数据。分离并鉴定了属于165个属、19个科、13个目、4个纲和3个门的430种微真菌。我们发现子囊菌门有21种、11个属、7个科,卵菌门有6种、1个属、1个科,接合菌门有45种、15个属、8个科。半知菌包括138个属、358种,占已鉴定物种的绝大多数:430种中的358种(83.25%)。还分离出了条件致病物种。得出的结论是,空气中黑曲霉、烟曲霉、草本枝孢、链格孢、出芽短梗霉等真菌的丰度可以作为评估空气污染的一个重要标准。
