Lead (Pb) pollution is a major concern in many developing nations of the world. Hence, there is a need for the development of an environmentally safe and cost-effective method for the clean-up of contaminated environments. The present study investigated the tolerance of presumptively identified fungal species isolated from 5 different dumpsite soils to Pb concentrations 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1...... hiện toàn bộ
