Abstract
We have studied on the uptake of γ-BHC by fungal mycelium. In this experiment, the uptakes of α-, β-, and δ-BHC by fungus were studied, and it was clear that the maximum uptaken weights of α-, β-, andδ-BHC by Fusarium roseum were repsectively 0.049, 0.033, and 0.055,μg/mg of fresh mycelial weight.
The weight of α- and δ-BHC uptaken by Aspergillus oryzae, Cochliobolus miyabeanus and Fusarium roseum from the medium containing these BHC-isomers were calculated. The weight of δ-BHC uptaken by every fungus used in this experiment was greater than one of a-BHC. On the other hand, in the case of using of another medium containing α- and γ-BHC, the mycelia of C. miyabeanus uptook γ-BHC more than α-BHC, and it was opposite result on the uptake of the isomers by mycelia of A. oryzae and F. roseum from the medium.
