The International Commission on Indoor Fungi (ICIF) is a Commission of the Mycology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (hereafter IUMS Mycology Division).
The aims of the Commission are
- to improve any or all aspects of indoor mycology
- to improve the accuracy of identifications of indoor fungi in research and private laboratories
- to establish a reference culture collection and carry out proficiency testing
Courses on identification of molds in food and indoorenvironments.
Identification of molds on food and indoorinvironments is important to understand the ecology and biology of these micro-organisms. The CBS-KNAW fungal biodiversity Centre (Utrecht, the Netherlands) is organizing two courses in 2010. In addition to laboratory classes where mnore than 100 strains of common species will be studied, the course also provides information on isolation, detection and production of mycotoxins.
