Heavy metals like chromium (Cr(VI)) and cadmium (Cd(II)) which are supposed to be indigenous components of rocks, are no longer bound to their place of origin thus manifesting significant toxic impacts on living beings. In the present study, the metal tolerance capacity of highly resistant microorganisms was harnessed individually and in the form of consortium, to remediate conundrum of pollution. These fungal strains were isolated from contaminated sites and screened under various processed conditions. Results of secondary screening had evinced more than 70% of removal percentage for Cr(VI) with the fungi Aspergillus flavus (FS4) and Aspergillus fumigatus (FS6), in the liquid medium. Similarly, one Cd (II) tolerant fungal isolate FS9, identified as Aspergillus fumigatus, showed removal up to 74%. The developed microbial consortium had also enhanced the removal of heavy metals in different industrial effluents. The metal acceptance quality that this fungal consortium possess, may specify its ability as an effective biosorbent for the environment contaminated with heavy metals.

重金属，例如铬（Cr（VI））和镉（Cd（II）），被认为是岩石的固有成分，不再与它们的起源地结合，从而对生物产生了显着的毒性影响。在本研究中，高抗性微生物的金属耐受能力被单独利用并以财团的形式利用，以补救污染难题。从受污染的部位分离出这些真菌菌株，并在各种加工条件下进行筛选。二次筛选的结果表明，在液体培养基中，真菌黄曲霉（FS4）和烟曲霉（FS6）对Cr（VI）的去除率超过70％。同样，一种Cd（II）耐受性真菌分离物FS9被鉴定为烟曲霉，显示去除率高达74％。发达的微生物联盟还提高了不同工业废水中重金属的去除率。该真菌财团拥有的金属接受质量，可以说明其作为被重金属污染的环境的有效生物吸附剂的能力。
