Article Synopsis
- Treating wastewater with carbendazim is tough because it's harmful and complicated.
- A fungus called Actinomucor elegans LBM 290 can break down carbendazim quite well, removing 86.6% of it in just 8 days.
- The fungus changes when exposed to carbendazim, showing it can produce special proteins to help it survive the stress from this toxic substance.
The aim of this work was to isolate fungal strains from phytotoxic agricultural soils, screen them, categorize the most tolerant fungi to three fungicides, and identify them by a molecular approach. In this study, 28 fungal strains were isolated from phytotoxic agricultural soil with intensive use of pesticides. The capacity of fungi to resist and degrade different concentrations of carbendazim, captan, and zineb was determined by an exploratory multivariate analysis.
