Abstract
We present the results of a search for globular clusters in the surroundings of 15 low surface brightness dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster, on CCD images in the C and T1 bands. Globular cluster candidates show a clear bimodal color distribution. Their surface density distribution shows no concentration towards the respective dwarf galaxies but it does show concentration towards the center of the Fornax cluster. We suggest that the potential globular clusters might not be bound to the dwarf galaxies, but might instead belong to the intra-cluster medium.
