… The plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish … and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.

• What is the indoor fungal diversity on a world scale?
• What is the correlation in the profile of species detected by different methods?
• Are we talking about unculturable or uncultured organisms?
• What is the biological significance of the species detected?
IM-BOL Global house dust survey
Next generation DNA sequencing
• Millions of sequences directly from a sample – Culture independent
• In fungi, usually ITS +/- 28S • Many platforms and technologies
– 454 pyrosequencing – Illumina sequencing – Ion Torrent

• now includes classical isolations only
• d2e isolations to be added
• to be linked with MoBEDAC
IM-Bol conclusions
• Vast increase in indoor fungal species diversity on the global scale
• Enhanced importance of the class Dothideomycetes – especially Epicoccum, Phoma and Alternaria
• Confirmed importance of the class Eurotiomycetes – especially Penicillium and Aspergillus
• Confirmed significance of the genus Wallemia – undoubtedly several species rather than one
Concluding thoughts • Identifications in environmental DNA studies
– Very sensitive to data gaps and taxonomic imprecision – Especially Last Common Ancestor analysis – Results can vary day by day!
• Dilution to extinction – Very labour intensive – Isolates common as well as rare, unusual fungi – Including species not detected by pyrosequencing
• Determining biological significance requires multifaceted approach – Living growing moulds vs transients or dead cells – Are all fungi really detected by 454 sequencing?
