presence of fecal coliform organisms indicates recent and possibly hazardous fecal pollution [12].
The Bacillus isolated from Kejeik samples were identified at species level as Bacillus cereus, the counts of it
in Ijl Kejeik, Nawk Kejeik and Garmut Kejeik were 5 × 105, 2.3 × 104 and 1.0 × 104 cfu/gm, respectively. The
count of Bacillus cereus of ijl Kejeik (5 × 105 cfu/gm) was higher than those of other Kejeik samples.
The fungi isolate Kejeik samples could be identified as Aspergillusniger, Alternaria, and Penicillium sp.
However, fungi counts in Ijl, Nawk and Garmut were 0.91 × 104, 1.2 × 104 and 1.2 × 104 cfu/gm, respectively.
Presence of different fungal species in dried seafood’s in different seasons were reported by many investigators
