Abstract:
Five test fungi Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium herbarum, Curvularia lunata and Trichoderma viridae were subjected to growth in lead containing basal medium and level of tolerance was determined at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50ppm Pb concentrations. The growth parameters adopted to study toxicity and physiological responses is the dry weight of fungi and total protein content in their culture filtrate.
