Abstract

The aim of this study was to detect the presence of fungi in green turtle semi natural hatching sands in Meru Betiri National Park Banyuwangi. 1 gram of sands in 22 green turtle nests were used as the samples. Isolation and identification were performed by observation of macroscopic characteristics of colony growth and microscopic characteristics with lactophenol cotton blue staining. Based on the results of the study, 3 samples (13.6%) were negative and 19 samples (83.4%) were positive of fungal growth. Several types of fungi that had been found were Aspergillus sp., Cunninghamella sp., Fusarium sp. and Trichoderma sp.
