Pyrene degradation and copper and zinc uptake byFusarium solaniandHypocrea lixiiisolated from petrol station soil

Abstract: Aims:  This study aimed to isolate and identify potential polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)‐degrading and/or metal‐tolerant fungi from PAH‐contaminated and metal‐contaminated soils. Methods and Results:  Pyrene‐degrading fungi were isolated from contaminated soil and tested for metal (Cu, Zn and Pb) compound solubilization and metal accumulation. Three strains of Fusarium solani and one of Hypocrea lixii were able to degrade more than 60% of initial supplied pyrene (100 mg l−1) after 2 weeks. The isolates … Show more

“…As previously observed [21,46], OTUs affiliated to the Arthrobacter and Fusarium genera increased over time in NM soil samples. Members of the Arthrobacter and Fusarium genera have been found in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments [56,57] and could be potential PAH degraders [51,58]. The relative abundance of the Nitrospirae phylum, one Nitrospira OTU and the Nitrospirales order increased over time.…”

“…Additionally, F. solani production of siderophores for sequestering heavy metals was reported by Hong et al (2009) who observed that all the F. solani isolates tested showed positive CAS reactions (chrome azurol S agar plate siderophore assay) and hence reported that it is possible that the F. solani siderophores may have solubilized and sequestered Cu and Zn from wastes contaminated singly or in combination with these heavy metals.…”

“…Hashem and Bahkali (1994) showed that a strain of F. solani could grow in the presence of cobalt up to a concentration of 300 ppm, however the scavenging mechanisms of F. solani towards cobalt was not studied. Hong et al (2009) studied the effect of F. solani isolates on Cu, Zn, and Pb, i.e., cobalt wasn't involved in the study.…”

“…Most studies have been undertaken on filamentous fungal strains and mostly members from the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, Humicola, and Nannizzia have been reported to possess resistance against heavy metals [13,23,25]. Recently, several studies have reported a similar trend among endophytic fungi being able to resist several heavy metals such as copper, zinc, and cadmium [26][27][28]. The preliminary screening of endophytic fungi against heavy metals showed the order of tolerance to heavy metals are Cd<Cu<Zn<Co.…”
