  • Furthermore, the fungal measures likely represent the abundance and richness of mesophiles, because the temperature (22°C) used to incubate inoculi falls within the temperature optima of mesophilic fungi.

  • A broad temperature range (4 to 40°C) was used to represent the range of temperatures likely to support most mesophilic fungi [ 2 12 15 18 ] . Because the growth of mesophilic fungi can occur between 0 and 50°C with optima from 15 to 40°C, a temperature of 4°C may represent a conservative minimum at which mesophilic fungi grow and a temperature of 40°C may represent a conservative maximum at which mesophilic fungi grow.
