title: Development of safety culture tube for molds and proposed procedure for collecting conidia or fixing strains to control fungal infection and allergy.
abstract: The conidia of filamentous fungi can be easily blown into the air and tend to be contaminants in the laboratory environment. We developed a new "safety culture tube for fungi" to prevent biohazards and a procedure for collecting conidia for passage or fixing strains was proposed.
