ABSTRACT = {investigation of the mycoflora in northern Taiwan from August 1999 to June 2000,
particularly of thermophilic and thermotolerant fungi inhabiting sulfurous hot spring soils, resulted in identification 12 taxa: Aspergillus fumigatus var. fumigatus (66.85 %), A. fumigatus var. 1 with green colony (7.86 %), A. fumigatus var. 2 with brown colony (4.81 %), A. niger (1.14 %), unidentified Asperigillus sp. (0.045 %), Chrysosporium sp. (0.18 %), Papulaspora thermophila (2.72 %), Scytalidium thermophilum (0.045 %), Sporotrichum sp. (0.045 %), Mycelia sterilia sp.1 with white colony (6.63 %), Mycelia sterilia sp.2 with yellow colony (5.27 %) and Mycelia sterilia sp. 3 with gray colony (4.405 %). A total of 2202 colonies were isolated from three sampling sites: site 1 (hot springhead), site 2 (2 m from site 1) and site 3 (4 m from site 1). Fungal colonies isolated as well as species percentage at three sites were as follows: 32.92 % in 9 taxa from site 1, 37.87 % in 11 taxa from site 2, and 29.21 % in 8 taxa from site 3. The dominant species was Aspergillus fumigatus var. fumigatus, which was isolated year around from three sampling sites. A. fumigatus var. 1 appeared
from February to June 2000. A. fumigatus var. 2 was isolated only in August and October 1999. Within the sampling range of hot spring niches, there was evidence of the presence of ecotypes in the A. fumigatus complex. Chrysosporium sp. and Sporotrichum sp. were isolated only from the soils without hot water treatment, but Aspergillus sp. and Scytalidium thermophilum were isolated only from the soils pre-treated with hot water for 30 min. at 60℃. The significance level (P value) of fungal communities between hot water treatment and no treatment was 0.866, indicating that no significant difference between both treatments.},
