ABSTRACT

Fungal floras were investigated for the lysimeter soil treated with municipal sewage sludge (MSS), pig manure compost (PMC), industrial sewage sludge (ISS), leather processing sludge (LS), and alcohol fermentation processing sludge (FS). Fungal populations were higher in the FS, ISS, LS, or MSS-treated soil than in the chemical fertilizer-treated soil. Isolated fungi from the sewage sludge were identified as Penicillium spp., Gliocladium spp., Acremonium spp., Trichoderma spp., Aspergillus spp., Blastomyces spp., and Phoma spp.
