Direct growth inhibition assay of total airborne fungi with application of biocide-treated malt extract agar

• A combination and modification of previous methods and the NIOSH Manual Analytical Standard Method (NMAM 0800) is proposed. • This method concurrently samples the total airborne fungi and evaluates the ability of bioactive compounds (potassium sorbate in this paper), as a biocide, to treat these i...

description • A combination and modification of previous methods and the NIOSH Manual Analytical Standard Method (NMAM 0800) is proposed. • This method concurrently samples the total airborne fungi and evaluates the ability of bioactive compounds (potassium sorbate in this paper), as a biocide, to treat these indoor airborne fungi. • The current method shortens the time of evaluation from 30 days to only 5 days and employs the counting of colony forming units (CFUs) to ease the measurement of the growth of fungi.
