USING OF THE ISOLATED FUNGI FROM PROBABLE CONTAMINATED REGIONS IN THE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF LEAD AND CHROMIUM CONTAMINATION IN RAMADI CITY

Abstract

The study included isolate and diagnose some fungi from possible contamination sites in Al-Ramadi city. And inoculated the liquid culture media contaminated with differing concentrations of lead and chromium by this fungus and two periods 7 and 14 days. results showed the fungus Fusarium sp. records the highest rate of removal of lead and chromium, and the duration of has no effect mentioned on the rate of removal of the lead and chromium, as the relationship between increase in lead and chromium concentration in the liquid media and the ability of fungi on removal was inverse.
