A protocol for application of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in situ hybridization for the detection of hyphomycetes is presented. The experiments are exemplary carried out with strains of the genera Penicillium and Cladosporium. The small ribosomal subunit is amplified in situ by PCR using fungal specific primers. The amplicon is used as target region for a fluorescein-marked probe. The perme...
