Summary:
On the surface of six different types of sterile plaster specimens placed in Petri
dishes germs of strains Alternaria sp. (1 strain), Aspergillus (A.) versicolor (1stra-
in), Stachybotrys
chartarum (1), aspergilli of group A. niger (2), Cladosporium cladosporioides (1),
Fusarium sp. (1), and Pencillium sp. (2) were inoculated in amounts from 10 4 to
10 7 colonies forming colonies. Within short time intervals the plasters were twice
saturated with 1 ml sterile aqueous solution with peptone and glucose. Under
experimental conditions the re-isolation from the surface of the plaster proved
possible after 3-month incubation at 25 °C in a damp enviroment only in A.
versicolor and strain Penicillium sp. D1, which was originally isolated from a wall
in a flat. After three months incubation the surface of the plaster was secondarily
contaminated in particular with penicillia and aspergilli group A. niger, rarely A.
flavus, Acremonium sp. and Cladosporium sp. Re-isolation did not prove possible
in strains Alternaria sp., aspergilli of group A. niger, Cladosporium cladosporioi-
des, Fusarium sp., P. expansum and Stachybotrys chartarum.
