Abstract
Fungi are spoilage organisms in food microbiology since some molds produce mycotoxins and aflatoxin that can cause some severe health concern in humans. In this perspective the present study was designed to determine the mycobiota in fresh bovine milk samples available for residents of Malir District, Karachi, employing culture plate technique. For this task Potato dextrose agar (PDA) and Sabouraud dextrose agar were synthesized for the purpose of the recovery of fungi from the samples. There were seven genera of fungi Alterneria, Aspergillus, Fussarium, Mucor, Penicillium, Pythium and Rhizopus was isolated from this District of Karachi while, A. flavus was recovered as most abundant fungus.
