Resumen:
Strains of Mucor, Penicillium and
Trichoderma, able to use
metsulfuron-methyl (MM) as a sole carbon and energy source, were isolated from
agricultural soils in Argentina. This is the first time this ability is
recorded in the Mucor or Trichoderma species. When the isolated strains were compared as to their capacity to
use the herbicide, those of Trichoderma
showed the best results, so they were selected for further assays. The effect
of metsulfuron on growth in liquid media was tested. Also, the ability of
conidia to germinate in water agar medium containing the target herbicide was
evaluated. All the strains could grow from spores using only metsulfuron-methyl
as carbon and energy source. These strains of Trichoderma are promising candidates to be used in the recovery of
soils and waters contaminated with this herbicide.
