As a part of a series of studies regarding the microbial biota in manned space environments, fungi were isolated from six pieces of equipment recovered from the Japanese Experimental Module "KIBO" of the International Space Station and from a space shuttle. Thirty-seven strains of fungi were isolated, identified and investigated with regard to morphological phenotypes and antifungal susceptibilities. The variety of fungi isolated in this study was similar to that of several previous reports. The dominant species belonged to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus and Cladosporium, which are potential causative agents of allergy and opportunistic infections. The morphological phenotypes and antifungal susceptibilities of the strains isolated from space environments were not significantly different from those of reference strains on Earth.
作为一系列关于载人太空环境中微生物群落研究的一部分，从国际空间站日本实验舱“希望号”和一架航天飞机回收的六件设备中分离出了真菌。分离出37株真菌，对其进行了形态学表型和抗真菌药敏性的鉴定与研究。本研究中分离出的真菌种类与之前的几份报告相似。优势菌种属于青霉属、曲霉属和枝孢属，它们是过敏和机会性感染的潜在病原体。从太空环境中分离出的菌株的形态学表型和抗真菌药敏性与地球上的参考菌株没有显著差异。
