Abstract

Fungi are considered as serious pathogens to many plants and can cause a severe economic
damage. Early detection and identification of these pathogens is very important and might be
critical for their control. The available methods for identification of fungi are time consuming
and not always very specific. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy is proved to be a
reliable and sensitive method for detection of molecular changes in cells. In the present study
we used FTIR microscopy as a sensitive and effective assay for the detection and
discrimination between different genera of fungi. Our results showed significant spectral
differences between the various examined fungal genera.
