Abstract

Aspergillus niger v. T. ATC6275, proliferation was reduced by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at 10 and 50 ppm. Picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) at rates up to 50 ppm did not reduce fungus growth. A. niger degraded both 2,4-D and picloram, 2,4-D more effectively. Both herbicides were contained in the fungus mycellium.
