Abstract

Isolation of ascomycetous microfungi from 58 house dust samples from detached and apartment dwellings around Kobe City revealed that species ofTalaromyces, Eurotium andNeosartorya were common ascomycetous propagules in the house dust.Neosartorya species accounted for 8.3% of the total identified isolates, of whichN. pseudofischeri was the main constituent, indicating that it may be a common potential fungal pathogen in the dwelling environment. Based on the specimens collected,N. pseudofischeri is described and illustrated as new to Japan.
