This study was conducted to screen ectomycorrhyzal (ECM) fungi that can increase copper (Cu) tolerance of Eucalyptus urophylla and Acacia aulacocarpa seedlings for the phytoremediation of Cu mine tailings. Two laboratory experiments were done following a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replicates. Pisolithus 23-01 yielded the highest mycelial growth and was unaffected by Cu addition up to 750 µM. Likewise, Pisolithus H6394, Scleroderma sp. and Astreus sp. were not affected by Cu but the growth was slower than Pisolithus 23-01. |
