Four areas of Malaysia were selected for the study of filamentous micro fungi occupying soil habitats. Ampang, Kota Bharu, Bandar Melaka, and Kuantan were examined for micro-fungi species content and diversity of isolates. Species recovered from the soils of Malaysia, represent 63 genera and four classes, according to current concepts of fungal taxonomy (Clements and Shear, 1964; Domsch and Gams, 1980). Most isolates belonged to the imperfect fungal class Deuteromycetes, a few species represented the Zygomycetes, and only isolated incidents of Mastigomycetes and Ascomycetes were found occupying the soil of these regions.
Empat kawasan di Malaysia di pilih untuk penyelidikan pembiakan mikrofungi dipermukaan tanah. Kawasan-kawasan kajian yang mengandungi berbagai-bagai species mikro-fungi tersebut ialah Ampang, Kota Bharu, Bandar Melaka, dan Kuantan. Mengikut pengelasan konsep fungi (Clements dan Shear, 1964; Domish dan Gams, 1980) species mikro-fungi yang ditemui dipermukaan tanah Malaysia terdiri dari 63 "genera" dan empat kelas. Kebanyakannya terdiri dari kelas "Deuteromycetes", sebilangannya mewakili kelas "Zygomycetes", dan cuma sebilangan kecil sahaja terdiri dari kelas "Mastigomycetes" dan "Ascomycetes ".
