Screening method for selecting the potential fungi for use in the bioremediation of leachate

This study focuses on a screening method for selecting the potential fungi which has ability to be used in bioremediation of leachate. In this study, twelve fungal species were tested for their ability to grow on 50% and 100% leachate incorporated with malt extract agar (MEA) and also the affect of...
