The capability of the fungal strain to remove the mercury(II) contaminant was evaluated
in 100 mL sterile 10 mg/L Hg2+-contaminated potato dextrose broth media in 250 mL Erlenmeyer
flasks inoculated with 108 spore/mL fungal spore suspension and incubation at 30◦C for 7 days. The
mercury(II) utilization was observed for flasks shaken in a 130 r/min orbital shaker (shaken) and nonshaken
flasks (static) treatments.
