The samples were weighed, dissolved, grinded and cultured on Potato dextrose agar (PDA).Aspergillus species that grew were identified and characterized.Heterotrophic counts showed more Aspergillus growth on sample A than sample B.The Aspergillus species that was identified include: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus candidus, and Aspergillus oryzae .
