The drop in moisture was conspicuous only after 15 days of storage. The fungal flora increased rapidly at all moisture levels within a week with a two-to-fourfold increase in low and medium moisture and almost sixfold in high moisture paddy. There was also an increase in the bacterial flora in grains at high moisture levels. In both the varieties of paddy, the sugars increased upon storage and this was relatively higher with increased moisture levels. On the other hand, reducing sugars decreased upon storage and the decrease was greater in high moisture lots. The amylase activity showed a general increase in all moisture lots. An increase in amino acids was observed at all moisture levels up to 15 days after which values fluctuated depending upon the moisture content. The phenolic compounds in paddy decreased upon storage at all moisture levels. The biodeterioration resulted in a dry matter loss of 2·09, 2·99 and 7·67% in ADT 31 and 1·96 and 5·88% in TKM 9 paddy after 90 days respectively in low, medium and high moisture paddy.

The make-up water, cooling tower water and effluent were baited with pine (<em>Pinus patula</em> Schl. & Cham.) and beech (<em>Fagus rhamnifolia</em> A. DC.) wooden test blocks. Observations were made at 6-weekly interval for the qualitative and quantitative changes in the species composition. The study showed that a cooling tower water system in the tropics provides a suitable environment for the growth and development of a variety of microfungi. Differences in the physical and chemical factors (e.g. temperature, effluent concentration, etc.) in cooling tower water systems have a profound effect on the composition of the mycoflora. Generally beech test blocks attracted a greater variety of fungi than pine. A total of 106 species belonging to 65 genera were isolated from the cooling tower water system, which were classified into ‘primary’, ‘secondary’ and ‘sporadic’ colonisers on the basis of the sequence and frequency of their appearance on the test blocks. Further, based on the percentage frequency the fungi were categorised into ‘dominant’, ‘common’, ‘frequent’, ‘occasional’ and ‘rare’ forms. Some of them reported in this study are already known for their potency to cause soft rot and white rot in wood.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13629,"journal":{"name":"International Biodeterioration","volume":"27 4","pages":"Pages 351-371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0265-3036(91)90063-W","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86769595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
