Abstract
FORTY SEVEN samples of animal manures and thirty eight......samples of floor dust were randomly collected from the vicinity ofAyatt City during September– November 2013. Keratinophilic andthermophilic fungi were isolated. A total of 26 sp belonging to 15genera and 23 sp belonging to 17 genera of keratinophilic andthermophilic fungi were identified, respectively. Out of 76 encountersof animal manuresThamnostylum piriforme was the most frequent(10.52 %) followed byAspergillus brasiliensis = Chrysosporiumkeratinophilum(7.89%) each. 78 encounters were isolated from floordust. The most frequent wasArachniotus dankaliensis (10.25%)followed by
 Candida albicans (7.69%). 76 isolates of thermophilicfungi were isolated from animal manure.Aspergillus fumigatus is themost frequent (9.21%) followed byAspergillus flavus var. columnaris(7.89%). 75 isolates were identified from floor dust. Again,Aspergillusfumigatusis the most frequent (9.33%). Aspergillus brasiliensis = A.carneus
= A. flavus var. columnaris = Rasamsonia byssochlamydoides=Chrysosporium zonatum (6.66%) each comes second. The clinicalimportance of certain fungi was discussed.
