Metabolic synergies in the biotransformation of organic and metallic toxic compounds by a saprotrophic soil fungus [PDF]
The saprotrophic fungus Penicillium griseofulvum was chosen as model organism to study responses to a mixture of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, δ-HCH) and of potentially toxic metals (vanadium, lead) in solid and liquid media ...
