background facultative marine fungi could potentially be arsenic tolerant and may be able to remove this highly poisonous metal from the environment. objectives the objective of this work was to explore the degree of tolerance and removal efficiency of two facultative marine fungi. materials and methods facultative marine fungi aspergillus flavus and rhizopus spp. were exposed to 25 mg/l and 50...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on rcb design with 3 replications in 2011 at isfahan. treatments included nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha-1) as a first factor and nitroxin+ phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150 and 50+200...

pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) on some morphological characteristics of thlaspi caerulescens l., and also on the accumulation of lead (pb) and zinc (zn) in roots and shoots of t. caerulescens l.. experiments were then set up in three treated pots with doses of 3, 6 and 9 mmol kg-1 of edta and control pots (c: uncontaminated so...

the concentration of selected trace metals (fe, cd, cu, pb, and zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along kanyakumari coast, india. toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...

to evaluate the effect of application of municipal solid waste compost (mswc) on the accumulation of heavy metals of lead, nickel and cadmium in the soil under maize cultivation, a factorial experiment in base randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four different amounts of municipal solid waste compost (zero, 15, 30 and 60 tons ha-1) and time (compost applied once or twice) was performed...

background: a pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (zea mays l.). materials and metheds: heavy metals mn, pb, cd, cr and co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. the test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated for n...
