Microscopic fungi spread in different types of soils in Western Georgia

Abstract

200 cultures of microscopic fungi have been isolated from the different types of soils (yellow brown forest, raw carbonate, yellow, red, bog, alluvial, yellow podzolic, mountain meadow and brown forest) of Western Georgia. Mainly, representatives of the following classes Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes and Deuteromycetes are spread in the above-mentioned types of soils. Microscopic fungi from the class of Ascomycetes prevailed in the five types of soils: yellow brown forest, raw carbonate, red, alluvial and yellow-podzolic; and as well in mountain meadow soils. Cultures from the class of Deuteromycetes are spread in two types of soils: yellow and brown forest. As concerns microscopic fungi cultures isolated from the bog soils, no expressed dominant genus was found, only the microscopic fungi from the class of Zygomycetes prevailed in general.
