摘要：A research was carried out on the fungi present in the atmosphere of Mexico City, through the analysis of rain water collected from June to September of 1982. To obtain data on a wide range oí fungi, isolations were made on Sabouraud dextrose agar and potato) dextrose agar plates incubated at the room temperature of 20-26ºC for 48- 72 hours. During tlic sampling period 600 to 6000 colonies per ml were recorded. The most frequent fungi were Cladosporium, Alternaria, Penicillium and yeasts. The relationship between these airborne organisms and weather elements was established. It was found that wind speed was related to fungal counts through a correlation coefficient of r = 0.80 (p Penicillium citrinum, P. clavigerurn, Fusarium semitectum, Aspergillus niger, A. candidus, A. glaucus and A. tamarii , allowed to show the presence of both pathogenic and allergenic fungi. This infonnation could be used in further studies of a medical or agronomical character about the effect of environmental factors on the abundance and dispersion of airborne fungi.
