    concentration of (Mn, Cu, Fe) showed variable sensitivity in growth rate (Table 39, Fig. 49), it was noticed that high concentrations (500 ppm and 1000 ppm) delayed the growth up to 5 days whereas the fungus treated with 500 ppm start to grow at the day 6 and those treated with 1000 ppm start to grow at the 7 day but very slowly growth. P. duclauxii recorded high resistance against different concentrations of (Zn, Pb, Ni, Al) up to 1000 ppm (Table 39, Fig. 49). High concentration 1000 ppm of (Mn, Zn, Ni, Al) couldn’t stopped Penicillium italicum growth (Table 40, Fig. 50). The fungus pigmentation was low or not detected comparing with that of control with different concentration of Zn (Fig. 51). Microscopical examination of this fungus fed with different concentrations of zinc investigated variable sporulation comparing with that of control (Fig. 52). Copper slightly stimulated the growth in concentrations 30 ppm-100 ppm while other concentrations inhibited Penicillium italicum growth and 1000 ppm delayed the fungus growth to 6th day but with a slowly rate (Table 40, Fig.…
