Different varieties of oil cakes were procured from the local
market. The oil cakes (Cotton seed and Sesame oil cake) were
soaked in water for 48 hrs for the growth of fungal spores.
After 48 hrs, the soaked oil cakes were suspended in 100 mL
of sterile water and mixed thoroughly for even distribution of
the sample and evenly mixed sample were serially diluted in
the range of 10-3 – 10-6 dilutions. 0.1ml from dilutions 10-4, 10-
5, 10-6 was inoculated into potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates.
The plates were incubated at room temperature for 48 hrs.
