Abstract: Tomato cultivation has a great worldwide interest. The quality of tomato fruit is of economic and health importance. Being rich in water and generally stored at 4 °C, tomatoes risk a rapid infection. This work was interested in isolating and studying pathogenic fungi in tomato fruit. isolations and subcultures were carried out on the PDA medium. Morphological characterization identified 5 fungi on Solanum lycopersicum fruits: Alternaria alternata; Penicilliumolsonii; Ulocladium atrum; Phytophtora nicotianae and Aspergillus fumigatus. This result highlighted and worried the presence of mycotxigenic fungi on fresh tomato.
