Development of safety culture tube for molds and proposed procedure for collecting conidia or fixing strains to control fungal infection and allergy

Abstract

The conidia of filamentous fungi can be easily blown into the air and tend to be contaminants in the laboratory environment. We developed a new "safety culture tube for fungi" to prevent biohazards and a procedure for collecting conidia for passage or fixing strains was proposed.
