In the ATCC collection of filamentous fungi catalogue, more precisely in the Strains
with Special Applications Section there is an application that is bugging me. This is
the application:
Aircraft components
testing
Aspergillus flavus
" niger
" ustus
" versicolor
Chaetomium globosum
Fusarium monoliform
etc...
What is this about? Are these fungi that like to take the plane (Hey, I met Rusty the
fungi in a 747 back from Jakarta)? Or are they simply organisms used for airplanes
testing? If so, what for exactly?
