Abstract
The fungi associated with stored wheat grains (38 samples) and their milling fractions (52 samples) were isolated from samples collected from several locations in India. Samples were screened by Dilution plate method and incubated at 10, 25, 37 and 55°C. Aspergilli were isolated from all the samples whereas Penicillia, other imperfect fungi and Mucorales were found in 83, 62 and 50% of the samples respectively. ThirtyAspergillus spp., 27Penicillium spp., 32 species of other imperfect fungi, 17 species of Mucorales and two species of Ascomycetes were isolated.
