Effect of chromium sulphate solution of different concentrations (0.25%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 3.0%) on soil mycobiota was studied. Up to a certain 1evel; the fungal diversity improved as a result of amendment with chromium sulphate solution. However, higher concentration (3%) led to marked decrease in the number of isolates. Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. terreus. A. fumigatus, A. luchuuensis, Fusarium spp., Periconia byssoides and a species of Penicillium could be isolated from soil treated with 3% chromium sulphate solution. Out of these, A. fumigatus and Fusarium spp. together accounted for more than 94% of isolates and may be tried for removal of chromium from industrial effluents.
