Identification of the microscopic fungi (moulds) occurring in our environment - microfungi on food
and feed, on walls of flats, in air, and microfungi useful in biotechnologies. Attention is drawn on
anamorphs connected with ascomycetous orders Eurotiales and Hypocreales (genera Penicillium,
Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Fusarium etc.). Methods of isolation and cultivation, evaluation of
micromorphological and macromorphological features. Production of mycotoxins and influence on
human health.
