Effect of cadmium, cobalt, and chromium on growth of three Cunninghamella species

الملخص EN

The ability of three fungal species, Cunninghamella blakesleeana, Cunninghamella homothallica, and Cunninghamella elegans to grow in the presence of different concentrations of radioactive elements: cadmium, cobalt, and chromium was determined.

The results revealed that the genus Cunninghamella were able to grow in a relatively high concentration of radioactive elements and could be used in the absorption of radioactive elements from contaminated liquids.
