FUNGI UNVEILED: EXPLORING MICROBIAL CULPRITS IN SPOILED INDIAN FRUITS

Аннотация

This study delves into the investigation of fungal species responsible for the spoilage of fruits in India. Through isolation and characterization techniques, diverse fungal strains were identified from spoiled fruit samples collected across different regions. Morphological, biochemical, and molecular analyses were employed to elucidate the taxonomy and traits of the isolated fungi. The findings shed light on the diversity and prevalence of fungal culprits contributing to fruit spoilage in the Indian context, providing insights crucial for effective management and preservation strategies in the fruit industry. KEYWORDS Fungi, spoilage, fruits, isolation, characterization, India.
