“…The movement of some terrestrial fungi into fresh water systems is through animals, plants and soil [ 15 ]. The other dominant genus is Allomyces , while the abundant species of zoosporic fungi in surface waters such as dams, ponds, rivers and lakes in Egypt are Ditcyuchus sterile and Aphanomyces laevis [ 16 ].…”

Currently, there is a worldwide growing interest in the occurrence and diversity of fungi and their secondary metabolites in aquatic systems, especially concerning their role in water quality and human health. However, this concern is hampered by the scant information that is available in the literature about aquatic fungi and how they affect water quality. There are only few published reports that link certain species of aquatic fungi to human health. The common aquatic fungal species that have been reported so far in African aquatic systems belong to the hyphomycetes kingdom. This paper thus aims to survey the information about the occurrence and factors that control the distribution of different species of fungi in African aquatic systems, as well as their effect on water quality and the possible metabolic pathways that lead to the formation of toxic secondary metabolites that are responsible for the deterioration of water quality. This review will also investigate the analytical and bioanalytical procedures that have been reported for the identification of different species of waterborne fungi and their secondary metabolites.

“…The majority of these organisms were found to reside in the anaerobic zone, in contrast to form assumptions that they inhabit the micro-aerobic layers. The industrial effluent from a superphosphate factory altered the inherent fungal occurrence, reducing the incidence of terrestrial fungi and eliminating zoosporic fungi (Khallil and Abdel-Sater, 1993).…”

Seventy-five species and 3 species varieties belonging to 21 fungal genera were collected from air, soil and leaf surface of broad bean plant on dicholran chloramphenicol malt extract agar (DCMA) and dichloran Rosebengal chloramphenicol agar (DRBC) at 28°C. The results obtained from leaf surface (phyllosphere and phylloplane), soil and atmosphere were basically similar in the two types of media and the most common fungi were: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Cladosporium sphaerospermum and Drechslera neergaardii. The monthly counts of these fungi on two types of media irregularly fluctuated giving maxima value at various months. A. flavus was the highest fungi that produced both exo-and endo-ß-1,4-glucanases among the 9 tested isolates. Maximum production of two enzymes by A. flavus was 8 and 6 days after incubation at 30°C with culture medium containing glucose and cellulose as carbon sources and sodium nitrate as nitrogen source and initially adjusted to pH 6.
