Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this research was to isolate and identify the fungi from
petroleum-contaminated soil, to test their ability to grow in the presence
of diesel fuel and uptake it in solid and broth media. Among 16 isolated and
identified filamentous fungi, six were tested to determine their growth on
media enriched with diesel fuel as a sole carbon source. All tested isolates
showed different degree of diesel fuel utilization. Colony diameter was
measured, where the highest colony growth dynamics ratio was demonstrated
for Penicillium sp. (74.16%) and Cladosporium sp. (71.43%), and the lowest
for Absidia spinosa (23.15%). Results of dry mass measurements demonstrated
the highest potential of A. strictum (71.43%) to utilize diesel fuel in
broth medium. All other tested isolates showed insignificant dry mass
production ratio values. The highest utilization degree was documented for
A. strictum (60.28 %) and the lowest for Penicillium sp. (25.18%). |
