1 Materials and Methods: Study Area: Dharwad is selected as the study area for screening Spice mycoflora, the area is located at North latitude East longitude in Karnataka state (India), because of the rich vegetation and conducive atmosphere, harbors fungal growth. The sites selected for the present investigation is market area and different places of Dharwad. Local Market Area, Dharwad. Collection of samples: Sample collection: The five spice samples Viz; Elettaria cardamomum, Maton. (Cardamom), Coriandrum sativum, L. (Coriander), Cuminum cyminum, L. (Cumin), Cinnamomum tamala, Nees and Eberm (Indian cassia) and Piper nigrum, L. (Black pepper) were collected from Local market area Kirana merchant shops and spice sailors etc. on regularly monthly basis, from the chosen sites from Dharwad during the period of November 2009 to October The selected spice samples of unknown variety was collected in sterile polyethylene bags separately from the chosen sites, during the collection field data Viz; collection area, weight, type of sample, date of collection etc was carefully noted in the field note book. Collected samples were brought to the laboratory and used for further mycoflora analysis. 25 P a g e
2 Glassware and Chemicals: Petri plates, blotting paper with superior water holding capacity, conical flasks, pipettes, measuring cylinders and test tubes etc glassware from Borosil and HiMedia chemicals were used in the present study. Cleaning of Glassware: Glassware were first washed with a detergent and then placed in cleaning solution. The composition of the solution is Potassium dichromate 60gms, concentrated Sulphuric Acid 60ml and distilled Water 1000ml. The glassware were kept in the cleaning solution for 24 hours, later thoroughly washed with tap water and finally rinsed with distilled Water and dried. Sterilization of glassware: All the glassware were sterilized at 15 lbs pressure at C for 15 min. in the autoclave and dried in the hot air oven. Preparation of cotton plugs: Cotton plugs are best filters of microbes. The required amount of nonabsorbent cotton should be rolled tightly to fit the mouth of the flask or tube. It must be possible to lift the flask or tube by holding the plug without the plug slipping off. Methods: There are various methods for screening of mycoflora of Spices, but here following three methods have been employed for fungal isolation which are suitable. Isolation of seed mycoflora: Screening mycoflora associated with five different Spice samples in the study were isolated by following methods. 1. Serial Dilution Method. 2. Agar Plate Method. 3. Standard Blotter Method. Serial Dilution Method (Waksman, 1927): Ten gram of Spice sample was weighed and this was then suspended in 250ml conical flask containing 90ml of sterile distilled water (leveled up to100ml) so as to get the stock solution. The flask was shaken for about 15min on a shaker. 26 P a g e
3 1ml of suspension was transferred to test tube containing 9ml of sterilized distilled Water with the help of sterilized 1ml pipette. This gives the dilution of 1:1000. This process was repeated to obtain serial dilution 1:10000, 1:100000, 1: All the dilutions were thoroughly shaken again and then 1ml from each dilution was poured on sterilized petriplates under laminar flow chamber, each plate was gently rotated to ensure uniform distribution of suspension. Sterilized media was poured in petriplates containing 1ml of suspension under aseptic condition; each plate was again gently rotated to ensure uniform distribution of suspension and media. After solidification of media in the plate, plates were incubated at 25±1 0 C incubation time 37 days and the plates were examined for mycoflora of Spices. Agar Plate Method (Muskett, 1948): Hundred samples of the selected Spices were taken to isolate the mycoflora of Spices. Sterilized media was poured in sterilized petriplates under aseptic condition. After solidification of media in plates, the plates were kept inverted for 12hrs, contaminated plates were rejected. Ten samples of each selected Spice were placed at equidistance in each petridish containing nutrient media. The plates were incubated by providing 12hrs. light and 12hrs. darkness alternatively. The plates were examined for the mycoflora under stereo binocular microscope and compound microscope. Standard Blotter Method (de Tempe, 1953): Sterile glass petriplates (9cm) were used in the study; their discs of blotter were moistened with sterilized water and were placed at the bottom of each petriplates. Excess water was drained from the blotters. Total 100 samples of the selected Spices were taken randomly from the lots for the study. Ten samples were placed at equidistance on blotter paper in each petriplates, for better growth and sporulation of fungal flora, 12hrs artificial light was provided by placing the plates below the Philips 40w tubes and alternated 12hrs darkness. After incubation of the plates, fungal growth was seen under stereo binocular microscope and compound microscope. Media used: In the present study following media were used isolate mycoflora of selected Spices from Dharwad. 27 P a g e

5 Sterilization of media: All the media were sterilized in an autoclave at 15 lbs pressure at C for 15 min. To prevent growth of bacteria, the media must be either acidified or supplemented with antibiotics. Chloramphenicol Antibiotic was used to prevent the bacterial growth. Counting of Fungal Colonies: Fungal colonies start appearing on the inoculated plates which were incubated at 25±1 0 C, After 24 hrs white mycelium start to appear and in a couple of days, a full growth of the fungus takes place to form a colony. But in some cases, appearance of fungal colony takes many days as noticed in slow growing fungi. At the same time number of fungal colonies of a particular species or genera is noted or counted. At the same time colour of the colony from both the sides, textures of the colony were noted. The incubated plates were observed under stereobinocular microscope. To avoid loss of fungi which developed late and which might be covered by fast growing forms, all plates in a series were checked frequently under stereobinocular microscope for a period of two weeks. All plates observed for one month before discarding. Preparation of Slant and transferring of fungi: There is a competition for development of various fungi in the initial medium. Colonies appearing in this medium probably do not grow and develop in the full extent. Hence single colonies of different fungi were transferred from the petriplate to the slant by flame sterilized and cooled Nichrome wire or loop. All this process was done under laminar air flow chamber. This process is to be done quickly to minimize the contamination and to have the pure cultures under aseptic conditions. Preservation and Maintenance of Culture: There are different methods for preservation and maintenance of cultures. The pure cultures of most of the fungal forms isolated from seeds were maintained by repeated (once in three months) subcultures in an aseptic condition and were preserved in a refrigerator. 29 P a g e
6 Slide Preparations, Illustrations, PhotoMicrography: Lactophenol with cotton blue stain was used as mounting media for preparation of slides, which were sealed with DPX mountant. Illustrations of fungi given in the thesis were drawn with the help of Erma Camera Lucida at stages level using 5x, 10x, 40X, 43x objectives and 10x, 15x, eyepieces. The choice of magnification was according to the need. Photomicrographs of the slides were taken by Carl Zeiss Imager M2 Model Microscope with Jenoptic Prog. Res. C5 attached Camera using 5X, 10x, 20x, 40X objectives and 10x eyepieces. Selection of objectives and eyepieces were dependent upon the nature of the fungal structures. Identification: Identification of different fungi from five selected Spices was done with help of slides prepared by direct mount from the culture; prepared slides were made permanent and with help of Erma Camera Lucida drawings along with micrometric measurements, Photomicrography and by referring fungal monographs and manuals such as Thom and Raper, (1945), Raper and Thom, (1948), Tandon (1968), Subramanian, (1971), Barnett & Hunter, (1972), Domsch & Gams, (1972), Ainsworth, et al., (1973), Ellis (1971,1976), Ellis and Ellis, (1985), Raper & Fennell, (1965), Bilgrami, et al., (1981), Gilman, (2001), Nagamani, et al., (2006), Pande, (2008), Muthumary (2013) also research articles and other related literature fungal Identification and illustrations were made up to the Genera and Species level.
