Diversity of Fungi from Three Different Industrial Effluent Soils

R. Kanaga, P. Prabakaran

Abstract: Fungi provide much valuable service to the mankind and in the soil ecosystem. The continuous irrigation of waste water results dramatic change in the soil nutritional status may favour certain fungal groups while hampering the growth and diversity of spores. In the present investigation suggests that the isolation of fungi from 10-3 dilution factors in the highly population diversity from the three different industry of Dalmia cement soil, sugarcane molasses soil, and Leather factory soil were determined. The following fungi of Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus awamori, A. flavus. , A, fumigatus, A. niger, A. nidulan, A. compae, Cladosporium sp, Curvularia lumata, Fusarium sp, F. oxysporum, Heliminthosporium sp, Pencillium sp, P. chrysogenum, P. citrinum, Trichoderma sp, T. harzianum, T. viride, and Verticillium sp were isolated and identified. The results indicates that the most of the physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, organic matter, available nitrogen phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potasium were analysed. The three different industries of Dalmia cement soil sugarcane molasses soil, and leather factory soil was 71, 66 and 40 colonies were isolated respectively
