Abstract

Culture signs of fungal colonies showed that one of them develops on the Sabouraud and Czapek agars, the second – on the Sabouraud and MacConkey agars and the third – on the MacConkey and Czapek agars. In this case, two selected isolates did not grow on the Czapek agar. Despite the fact that calculations of the isolated fungal amount coincide as on the Czapek agar as well on all three agars (200 colony forming units per 1 g of the sample). If we use only Czapek agar, we can’t identify all spectrum of micromycetes and establish a genus of the fungi, and we can’t to evaluate the safety of bee pollen’s mycotoxicity.
