Abstract

This study is aims to identifying the extent of some types of wood degrading fungi to grow in the presence of different concentrations of iron oxides, In addition to the identification of changes that can occur on the rate of growth and morphological shape of the fungi in this case, Through the results that have been obtained we can note that there have been some changes in growth rates, as well as some morphological changes, which vary depending on the type of fungus and the degree of concentration of iron oxides added to the environment,These aspects were represented in A decrease in growth rates compared to the control samples, as in the case of fungi Alternaria alternata, Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus niger,While no significant differences in growth rates appears at the same time with different proportions of iron oxides in the case of Fusarium subglutinans, While no significant differences were found in the growth rates of Tricoderma viride as affected by iron oxides concentrations and grown media composition.
