| Abstract | The aims of this work were to evaluate the phosphate-solubilization and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by the soil-borne micromycetes, Aspergillus japonicus, Penicillium italicum andPenicillium dipodomyicola, isolated from Phragmites australis rhizosphere and to study the effect of several concentrations of Cadmium (Cd2+) on both variables. Our results showed that P. italicum achieved a higher P-solubilization and H2O2 production than A. japonicus and P. dipodomyicola, as only P. italicum showed a positive correlation (R2 = 0.71) between P-solubilization and H2O2 production. In dose–response assays, P. italicum was also more tolerant to Cd2+ (0.31 mM) in comparison to A. japonicus (0.26 mM). Analysis of the 24 factorial experimental design showed that P-solubilization by P. italicum was negatively affected by increases in Cd2+ (p = 0.04) and yeast extract (p = 0.02) in the culture medium. The production of H2O2 was positively affected only by glucose (p = 0.002). Fungal biomass production was reduced significantly (p = 0.0009) by Cd2+ and increased (p = 0.0003) by high glucose concentration in the culture medium. The tolerance and correlation between P-solubilization and H2O2 production in the presence of Cd2+ was strain and species dependent. The effects of Cd2+, glucose, ammonium sulfate and yeast extract on those variables were evaluated through a two-level factorial design. P. italicum is promising for P-solubilization in soils contaminated with Cd2+ and may be an alternative for manufacture of biofertilizers to replace chemical fertilizers. |
