Abstract
From 475 samples of imported frozen lean beef in Egypt, 859 psychrotro phic fungal strains (770 strains by the dilution plating and 89 strain s by direct plating) were isolated. There were also 1291 mesophilic fu ngal strains isolated (1133 and 158 strains by the two different metho ds, respectively). The predominant psychrotrophs identified were speci es of Cladosporium and Penicillium while most mesophiles were in the g enera of Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Penicillium.
