Toxicity of Cobalt and Nickel to Fusarium Solani Isolated From Saudi Arabian Soil

Abstract

Fusarium solani isolated from Saudi Arabian soil was able to grow on liquid media containing up to 300 ug/ml cobalt or nickel. F. solani was tolerant to cobalt than nickel. The results provide evidence of the accumulation of cobalt and nickel in the mycelium of F. solani, which might be important in dealing with cobalt and nickel pollution in Saudi Arabia.
