摘要:The objective of this study was to assess the in vitro toxicity of the herbicides atrazine and paraquat on vegetative growth and sporulation of saprobic soil fungi. In thirteen strains of fungi isolated from soil, doses-response bioassays were performed with four concentrations of herbicides: atrazine (468, 937, 1875 and 3750 mg/L) and paraquat (93, 187, 375 and 750 mg/L). The fungi were inoculated with 2 mL of a spore suspension (1 × 106 spores/mL) in Petri dishes with potato dextrose agar (PDA) supplemented with herbicides. Daily growth rates (DGR), percent inhibition of mycelial growth(% IMG), sporulation and the median effective concentration (EC50) were evaluated. Paecilomyces carneus significantly showed the highest DGR (0.26 cm2/day) and maintained its sporulation rate (3.7 × 105 spores/mL) at 468 and 937 mg/L of atrazine. The % IMG of P. carneus, P. marquandii and P. lilacinus at 3750 mg/L of atrazine inAPD were: 22.6 %, 44.4 % and 46.3 %; with an EC50 of 6820 mg/L, 4736 mg/L and 3633 mg/L, respectively. Paraquat was more fungitoxic than atrazine; P. carneussignificantly maintained its DGR (0.17 cm2/day) under 93 and 187 mg/L of paraquat. The EC50 of paraquat showed the lowest values compared to atrazine; Aspergillus tamarii obtained the highest EC50 (256.4 mg/L) in paraquat. The genus Paecilomyces spp. and A. tamarii were the most tolerant to atrazine and paraquat, respectively. These strains are candidates to be included in studies regarding the biodegradation of both herbicides in environmental biotechnology.
