Bala, Jeremiah David; Kuta, Faruk; Nasiru, Adabara; Adedeji, Abdulameen Saheed; Al-Gheethi, Adel Ali Saeed; Fashola, Opeyemi HabeebMetals are non-biodegradable and recurrent in the environs. Heavy metals tolerant fungi were isolated from refuse dumpsite soil using pour plate method. These fungi were identified as Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum and Rhizomucor sp. The fungal isolates were screened for cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) with concentration of 200ppm, 400ppm and 600ppm. Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogen...
