How to manage the fungal contamination in carbon-di-oxide incubator?

regular cleaning is the best option, you are unlikely to be able to completely eliminate fungus.

incubator is one thing and the most important thing is your cells... I might suggest you to add fungizone as an option to your cells...

Don't do this, fungizone is really bad for cells and should only be used as a last resort in very precious cell lines.
