Biodeterioration problems in historic buildings are well recognized and during the past decades the role of the microbes in biodeterioration processes has been acknowledged. Biodeterioration cannot usually be related to single microbial groups; rather, they are a result of complex microbial interactions. In our study, fungal flora of historical buildings in İzmir, which is the important historical center, have been investigated. With this aim, samples were collected from 7 areas, which have different temperature and moisture conditions, in autumn and summer. The result of floral investigation, totally 192 isolates were obtained from the air and surface samples. 25 genera related to Zygomycota, anamorphic Ascomycota and teleomorphic Ascomycota were identified. Aspergillus, Penicillium, Phoma, Alternaria, Chaetomium and Cladosporium were found most frequently. 6 isolates were not identified.
