Heavy metal tolerance potential of Aspergillus strains isolated from mining sites
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Increased heavy metal pollution generated through anthropogenic activities into the environment has necessitated the need for eco-friendly remediation strategies such as mycoremediation. With a view to prospecting for fungi ... -
Heavy metal tolerance traits of filamentous fungi isolated from gold and gemstone mining sites
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2018)tIncreased environmental pollution has necessitated the need for eco-friendly clean-upstrategies. Filamentous fungal species from gold and gemstone mine site soils were iso-lated, identified and assessed for their tolerance ... -
