Impact of Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Lithium and Manganese to the Growth of Fungi and Production of Enzymes

Impacts of metals to the growth and enzyme production of fungi were tested with Cd- (0-10 mg kg–1), Co- (0-100 mg kg–1), Cr- (0-100 mg kg–1), Li- (0-100 mg kg–1) or Mn- (0-400 mg kg–1) containing media with ABTS [2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbentzthiazoline-6-sulfonicacid)] as indicator of oxidative enzymes, laccase and/or peroxidases.
