Aerobiology is the specialized field of investigation had its first development in 1930’s. However the presence of microbes in the atmosphere was detected by the experiment of earlier workers as early in 18th century. Atmospheric pollution is one of the major problems of our age. This pollution has now reached an advance level those possessing a potential threat to the health and well being of the population. Microorganisms are the primary sources of indoor air contamination. The quality of the indoor environment, infectious levels is not easily defined or controlled and can cause various diseases. Musty odor, dampness, water leaks, high humidity and visible mold growth are common indicators that airborne spores are being produced indoors. The type and concentration of fungi in indoor environment is primarily a function of outdoor fungi and humidity level. The concentrations of outdoor fungi and other fungi may be higher due to the occurrence of trees, shrubs and landscape irrigation close to exterior building walls.Since fungal spores and conidia are ubiquitous, the most effective method of source control is elimination of moisture that supports mold growth.

Bioscience is the branch of the sciences concerned with living organisms, from microorganisms to towering trees and gigantic whales. Bioscientists study things like the nature of living organisms, their behavior, their evolutionary history, and their potential uses. Depending on the subset of bioscience a researcher is involved with, he or she may spend a lot of time at the laboratory bench probing into things like the chemical composition of living organisms, or time in the field studying wild animals in situ. Research is actually an act of studying something carefully and extensively in order to attain deep knowledge in the same. For being successful, research should be systematic, arranged, summarized and recorded properly. Conservation is the scientific study of the nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. The main focus of this book is to portray the researches going on in the field of Bioscience in different domains.

Leaf surface is the plateform of the numerous fungal spores present in the air. During suitable microhabitat these spores are settled down on this having plateform and try to colonised. After settal down fungal spores, a triangular relationship appears among the micro-organisms, leaf surface and the environment. The seeds, leaves and the roots of Ocimum sanctum have great medicinal value. It is used both, internally as well as externally. Ocimum sanctum has mild antiseptic, analgesic properties and it relieves the swellings also. Hence, it beneficial, externally, in various skin diseases. The paste of leaves works well, with marica powder, when applied topically in ringworm infestations. The dressing with the pulp of its leaves effectively controls the infections and hastens the healing of chronic infected wounds. The leaves when chewed mitigate the infections of the gums. Instillation of fresh juice of the leaves into ears is an effective domestic medicament for ear aches. The present study deals with study of leaf surface mycoflora of Ocimum sanctum L. plant.

The study of the air-borne micro-organisms and their identity, behavior, movements and survival, their dispersion, deposition impact on human, animal and plant systems is referred to branch of science. Aerobiology in this contest, keep its importance, because it deals with air-borne bio-mass of various types of micro-organisms as well as their reproduction spores like pollens, fungal spores, vegetative materials and plant trichomes etc.Fungal spores are an important component of the bioaerosol. Fungal diversity is a variability of microorganisms.The atmospheric fungal diversity is very important and useful for the knowledge of atmosphere quality of particular region.The present study deals with the study of air-borne mycoflora of Ocimum sanctum with the help of Rotorod air sampler.

Microbial activity can have an important impact on the durability of building materials. The harmful effects by the colonisting of micro-organism on the monuments is scientifically known as biodeterioration. Biodeterioration of ancient buildings and monuments depend upon many factors. Preservation of these monuments is very necessary. Although many studies on microorganism and deterioration have been published in recent years, books and congress proceedings focus mainly on prokaryotes and algae. Therefore, it is the aim of this book to summarize data on the fungal impact on biodeterioration processes. The aim of this work was to study the microfungi community on biodeteriorated samples originating from some historical buildings/tempels by using cultivation and microscope observations in order to evaluate the potential damage caused by fungal species. Most part of the book describes biodeterioration by fungi. This book especially emphasizes the frequency & contribution of fungi in biodeteriorated parts. The book is intended for archeologists, enginners, researchers, and students of environment science.
