The aim of the laboratory experiment was the isolation of fungi colonized potato tubers directly (immediately) after harvest and after 5-month storage. 67 potato tubers samples collected in 1998 and 1999 from the areas of province Warmia and Mazury were examined. The occurrence of 36 and 46 species were confirmed on analyzed tubers after harvest and storage, respectively. The most frequent species which occurred on tubers were: <i>Alternaria alternata</i> (9,4%), <i>Colletotrichum cocco- des</i> (12,6%), <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> (7,4%) and fungi from <i>Fusarium genera</i> (8,7%).This fungi, except <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i>, more often colonized potato tubers afier storage. Among saprofitic fungi most frequent were: <i>Epicoccum</i> (3,4%), <i>Mortierella</i> (3,1%), <i>Mucor</i>(6,0%), <i>Penicillium</i> (17,0%), <i>Rhizopus</i> (7,1%) and <i>Trichoderma</i> (12,9%). More colonies of fungi were obtained from potato tubers analyzed after harvest. Remaining fungi were more frequently isolated after storage.

Up to 25 proteins have been found in the sap of potato tubers by polyacrylamid electrophoresis. The mode of preparation and concentration of the plant material was investigated as well as the pretreatment of the polyacrylamid gel to avoid undue retardation of the migrating bands.Sulfite was the most active inhibitor of sap-browning compared with ascorbic acid and cysteine. which did not influence the protein pattern except for one line. The juice had to be dialyzed or filtered through Sephadex G 25 to remove an unkown acidic material which interferes with the more acidic proteins and causes spreading and diffusing of bands. Proteins were concentrated by means of Carbowax MW 20000. For best results ionic contaminations inherent in the gels was removed by electrophoresis before applying the proteins or dyes. Very few proteins were affected by decreasing the pore size of the gel. Ammonium sulfate (40% saturation) precipitated mainly those proteins which are similar in electrophoretic behavior to the albumin- and transferrinregion of human plasma.
