摘要:An evidence suggests that micro organisms are far more sensitive to industrial effluents than animals orplants growing on the same soil. Setting up of new industries resulted in the disposal of industrial effluents causing air,water and soil pollution. Microbes play a crucial role in decontaminating polluted sites. The present study was based onvariations of fungal populations in polluted and non polluted soils of Saptagir Camphor and Siflon Drug industries. Inthis direction, soil samples were collected from Saptagir Camphor industry near Garladinne, Anantapuramu, AndhraPradesh and Siflon Drug industry near Rachanapalli, Anantapuramu, Andhra Pradesh. The fungal populations ofpolluted and non polluted soil samples were enumerated by serial dilution technique. After incubation period, coloniesformed on the surface of the Czapek’s dox agar medium were enumerated. The experimental results indicated that mostof the physico-chemical properties were significantly higher in polluted soil samples than in non polluted soils.Additionally the fungal populations were increased with increasing the incubation period up to 20 days compared to 0day, however, population count was decreased after 20 days of incubation. The fungal population increases as theyutilizes the nutrients in the soil, as incubation period increases the depletion of nutrients occurs and hence thepopulation decreases on prolonged incubation.
